Many of the icons also have mirrored forms available for use in languages that use right-to-left text directionality such as Arabic, Farsi, and Hebrew. This example show a black outline drawn on top of the zero-width red heart.

Because these are already centered the circle fill can be colored for different states. For example, U+EA3A and U+EA3B were created for the Start tile Badge status. We may do this to allow colorization in the code. Ideally, you can overlay two icons that were designed as a set and they will fall into place. Likewise, since all of the new icons are sized and positioned the same, they do not have to be made with zero width we have just made sure they work as a set.

This means that some older "tricks" like the progressive disclosure arrows no longer apply. Unlike with Segoe UI Symbol, the icons in the Segoe MDL2 Assets font are not intended for use in-line with text.

If the font is not available, the glyphs won’t show up. This is useful when creating a symbol font, but it creates an interoperability problem.
