Answer: it doesn’t contain any characters.
Explanation: an icon is a pictorial/symbolic graphic, not a typographic character that encodes a letter or sound. Ascenders/descenders and “double glyphs” are properties of letters/glyphs, not pictorial icons (though note icons can be stored as glyphs in icon fonts, they still function as imagery rather than alphabetic characters).
