I have effectively solved the problem with screen readers. My Icon-Font Generator now offers an option for assigning your icons to the “Supplementary Private Use Area” of the Unicode. Watch this short video demo to see Apple’s VoiceOver in action. You can see that VoiceOver does not read any extra letters. With this update, IcoMoon is the first, and the only icon font out there that is fully compatible with screen readers. You can download a free version if you are interested.
