I'm answering from my TV via a Steam link, lol... My monitor broke down this morning, RIP beloved 5/4 format, I'll now have to buy some 16/9 crap.
The HTML page has an acceptable size because it's brotli-compressed, and everything in Wedge is optimized. What loads after the initial page was loaded is still taken into account by Google when it comes to rating performance, so I try to stick to the quick stuff. Some icons are unicode-based, some are SVG-based, some are PNG, some are CSS tricks (circles, things like that...), some of them are loaded through an external URL while others (the smaller ones) are embedded directly within the CSS file (which is itself gzipped). Everything is fair game when it comes to optimizing file size. I know the drill, really.
It looks like an outline because your browser OS combination uses the default rendition for that icon. Check out emojipedia.org and search for skull to find a page where it shows you all the different possible renderings of the icon.
Star & tradables *are* exactly the same thing as the blacklist icon... The only difference is they're in a Unicode range that isn't classified as 'emoji friendly', meaning vendors aren't as free to show these in colored versions as they are with emoji friendly ranges.
I actually try my best to avoid emoji friendly ranges, but it's hard. Actually, I think the crossbones icon wasn't emoji friendly at the start, it only was classified as an emoji when the standards came up with that foolish idea of leaving it to the vendors... Hmm.
Anyway-- as always with the rest of the site: if you have ideas on how to improve it, feel free to share. Meaning here, if you find better icons, stuff that doesn't take more than 200 bytes gzipped for any of them, go ahead.
