It is literally just that text i.e. the standard dollar symbol on your keyboard, so need for svgs etc.

Previous discussions we have had around iconify -

Anyway, I'm stuck on how to use them in/on a text node rather than the switch node. (I'm now even more confused in that the link you posted is different to one I posted and that is also different to a third link which is google icons which some how got brought into this. (But that/this is a whole different problem I think)
