About Icon Fonts & Accessibility

Modern versions of assistive technology, like screen readers, will read CSS generated content (how {{ site.forkawesome.name }} icons are rendered), as well as specific Unicode characters. When reading our default markup for rendering icons, assisistive technology may have the following problems.

• The assistive technology may not find any content to read out to a user
• The assistive technology may read the unicode equivalent, which could not match up to what the icon means in context, or worse is just plain confusing
