Unmarked icons/images can cause confusion for screenreader users, and this icon is purely decorative. This CSS-Tricks example is pretty close. This W3C example is also similar but concerns elements (s have no alt attribute). Also compare to Wikipedia implementation, which is done in CSS but yields the same result, namely that the icon is completely hidden from assistive technology.
