It's simply impossible to cater for all ePub readers and even the def-facto reference implementation, ADE/RMSDK, doesn't support all ePub 2.01 specs.

If you want to be absolutely sure that the icons will be displayed, you'll have to convert the icon glyphs to bitmaps or .svg files.
(SVG files offer the image best quality, but not all non-ADE/RMSDK readers support them.)

You can export (non-antialiased) bitmaps with BabelMap and .svg files with Inkscape and other DTP programs or font editors.
