Using arrow symbol / material icons

Dear all,

I want to use an upward arrow in my text to indicate links.You can see an example here: https://www.freiblatt.com/Corona_Epicentre.html (all underlined links in the text end with that arrow). Unfortunately, that arrow is not displayed correctly in the "Edge" and "Safari" Browser.

A great possibility would be to use a similar arrow from "material icons". I have inserted this code in my body text:

Code: Select all

<i class="material-icons">call_made</i>
Is there a more elegant possibility to add this icon? I would like to see the icon already in WWB, so that my bode text in WWB looks like the final version on the website. In my case, it is not possible to use the "icon font" tool, because I want to integrate the icon directly in my body text.

There is no standard solution for this, so this will require custom code.

Is there a way to code this, so that I can use these special characters in my body text, but without these long snippets of code in my body text?

If there is a way: Could someone explain or point me to a page where I can learn this?
