+You can add an icon to a button as an inline image enclosed in a `span` with the
+class `mzp-c-button-icon-start` if the icon appears before the text label or
+`mzp-c-button-icon-end` if it appears after the label.
+
+You can optionally use a standard unicode character or symbol, but be aware not
+all platforms will support all characters. Icon fonts are also an option, with
+all the usual caveats about using webfonts. You can use an emoji but they also
+may not be supported equally across platforms and even on supporting platforms
+they’ll be rendered in completely different styles by different systems. For
+consistency and reliability, use an image.
+
+### Tips
+- Prefer simple, single-color icons. Complex images likely won’t render well at
+  such a small size. Multicolored icons or logos may not adapt to different
+  backgrounds as the button state changes.
+
+- Prefer embedded SVG over an external `img` (whether SVG or other format). An
+  inline SVG icon can more easily change color for the different button states
+  and style variants. Be aware that very old browsers don’t support SVG.
+
+- Consider the text direction of the page language. Arrows in particular indicate
+  a specific orientation that may be confusing in text that flows the opposite
+  direction. The “Next” and “Previous” buttons shown here are a good example of
+  how this can go wrong. In a right-to-left language, the “Next” arrow moves to
+  the left of the text label, but still points to the right. A properly
+  bi-directional design should reverse those icons as well.
+
+### Tips for inline SVG
+- Optimize SVG files for embedding inline in the HTML document. Strip out unnecessary
+  comments or metadata added by editing tools. Use [SVGO](https://svgo.dev/)
+  either locally on [online](https://jakearchibald.github.io/svgomg/).
+
+- Merge shapes and paths where possible to reduce the number of elements and points.
+
+- Avoid unnecessary grouping of elements.
+
+- Define colors with `currentColor`. This will inherit the icon’s color from the
+  button text, including color changes in hover and focus states. An icon with
+  its own defined colors will need to accommodate background color changes,
+  either with a color that is visible on all backgrounds, or facilitating a
+  color change some other way besides `currentColor` (e.g. with additional CSS).
+
+### No-Nos
+- Don’t add multiple icons to a button. Technically Protocol doesn’t prevent it,
+  it’s just a bad idea.
