Don't ever put together alongside various elements

<span>

<span>

class.

<button>
that simply just includes an icon ), you should certainly constantly generate alternative material to uncover the purpose of the control, to ensure it is going to make sense to operators of assistive systems. In this case, you could certainly add an
aria-label
attribute on the control itself. (see page)
