Re: ARIA-hidden vs role presentation for font icons

It is not safe to assume that screen readers will not read generated
content. VoiceOver reads the the arrow for each of the instances where
it is present, except for the one with aria-hidden=true. So, if you
are using generated content and do not want it to be read, aria-hidden
is definitely a solution.

The other option is to use CSS. In your example,
a span {display:none;}
would work.
