I had a problem with using these, for some reason the line-height was larger than the actual text, even at the same font size. My case in example; I had a horizontal nav list, and I was using the arrows for dropdown indicators, the heights got out of sync when I used the unicode option so I had to resort to an image.

I wrap them in a span and set their font-size to ~ 150% in CSS. There are some unicode links on the WSG resource section.
