Unicode code points do have names and standardized meanings, so it's not a good idea to abuse them.

Hopefully the 'create' one uses f003, which apparently lies in PRIVATE_USE_AREA [0]

    .mini-icon.create::before {
       content: "\f003";
    }

All the icons lie in private use areas, specifically to avoid abuse.
