Request

I'd like to have a new :accessibility: icon/emoji added to Discussions, similar to what's currently available in Slack. Octicons does have an accessibility-inset icon that would work: https://primer.style/octicons/accessibility-inset-16. Can anyone point me in the right direction so that this can be added and available for use in Discussions?

Use Case:

In an effort to help clarify what the Accessibility category in the Community on Discussions is (and reduce the number of mis-categorized posts in that area of the community), I was thinking that updating the icon/emoji for that category made sense. Right now, the Accessibility community category's emoji is a 👍 which is non-descriptive and isn't useful.

I initially proposed changing it to something like ♿ since that's the only Accessibility-related icon available in Discussions at the moment. However, @benjiallen brought up the valid point that it's not the most inclusive icon to use.
