I would like to know the formal name of these icons. I've tried searching "html entities开发者_开发技巧" and "html glyphs" in Google but the results always show the boring old arrows and Greek characters.

This is a unicode character.

If you are using UTF-8 encoding - which the example site is - you have a very large range of characters you can use - not just arrows and greek characters.

I'd encourage you to use Firebug or some other developer inspector in your browser. It makes it very easy to reverse engineer things like this.

These don't have any particular name as far as I know, they are simply Unicode glyphs. Here is a table.
