4 years ago Yes, I have also observed these issues with rendering. I guess they have something to do with the unmaintained grunt-webfont and its outdated dependencies, or the parameters here. It could take some time to investigate. If you have any interesting discovery please let me know.

I made a reference table as an HTML document to be more easily able to pick the right HTML entity references for a given icon. I've attached it here (octicons-webfont.html.gz) because I thought it might be a useful addition to the package documentation.
While viewing this in current Chrome (78.0.3904.108), I noticed that some icons are not correctly rendered.
As far as I can see, that applies to: broadcast, circle-slash, clock, dashboard, dependent, eye-closed, file-pdf, file-zip, git-branch/merge/pull-request/action, history, kebab-horizontal/vertical, mark-github, person, primitive-dot-stroke, question, radio-tower, repo-forked, report, request-changes, rss, search, skip, sync, unmute, unverified, verified, workflow-all.
The same holds in Firefox 68.2.0esr and Atom 1.41.0.
Given that the original authors have abandoned webfont-support in primer/octicons, I think your repository can be extremely useful, but only if these errors are fixed.
