Since you mentioned iPad problems,you may want to try DomesticExtremis's suggestion and embed com.apple.ibooks.display-options.xml.

You also may want to download ADE and open your ePub with it.

If the icons show up in ADE, but not on an iPad you most likely made a mistake embedding com.apple.ibooks.display-options.xml.

If the icons don't show up on ADE either, there's either a font or CSS problem. In that case post a small ePub sample with the font in it.
