Add letters/numbers icons #620

It would be useful to have letters/numbers. There are some components that are expecting an icon, and I'd like to just have a letter rather than a shape.

I couldn't understand your use case. Could you please share screenshot of usage area and give more detail about the case? Thank you.

An example is the menu model. Part of the model is an icon for the menu item. Sometimes, I can't find an appropriate icon to use for a menu item. Rather than not use an icon (which would not look good), it would be helpful if there were just icons for all letters and numbers.

Imagine I have a menu for "Social Media", and in that menu there are links for Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and Snapchat. The first 3 all have prime icons, but what do I do for Snapchat? If there were letters, I could just use an "S".

Thanks @MikeChuckRoast for detailed explanation. We probably won't add those to core PrimeIcons project, since it'll bloat the package size. We'll discuss with the team.
