Hi Glen,
Yesterday I tested 1F5CE just with JAWS and that works.
Now I tested it with NVDA and surprise: its name was *not* announced, as you noticed!

I have a large collection of icons which work with NVDA, in fact all except those for documents ☹.
It seems to me as a NVDA bug, but we have to acknowledge that yet the document icons can not be used safely.

Thanks for the hint in the accname spec. It is good to know that the usage of these pseudo-elements is defined precisely in a spec.
