The rosettaicons (icomoon) font shows a house, but Google's OpenSans 
shows "<" and so does FontAwesome (though I wonder if only one of those 
latter two actually has a character in that position). So that's 3 
different characters in that position so far: a house icon, an "S", and "<".

Lack of standardisation is such a pain.
