A way to add on some nice icons to a page without images is to use ascii characters. These characters are essentially the same as text, so their size can be changed as much as you like without increasing the weight of the page or get degraded. If you’re anything like me, you’re very familiar with the double charat “»”, but there are so many more arrows and useful shapes you can use. Finding a full list of all the ascii codes available can be a little tricky, so I was very happy to come across  character-code.com

This site has tons of great symbols you can take and use on your website without the muss and fuss of opening your graphics editing program 🙂
