Description

Describe Problem

When viewing the latest cheatsheet for ionicons, there is no glyph that one can copy and paste like fontawesome does in their cheatsheet...

Example from fontawesome: glyph

Describe Preferred Solution

I would like to see an option to copy the glyph character in the cheatsheet found on: https://ionic.io/ionicons

Describe Alternatives

No response

Additional Information

A reason I want to have this, is for whenever I have ionicons installed on something like my operating system, I'd be able to just copy and paste them into text editors and document editors.

Apparently version 2 of ionicons had this in the cheatsheet. But then I'd have to download the exact same version ionicons TTF font. This doesn't count for the latest cheatsheet.

Research direction
The issue requests adding a copy to clipboard glyph feature to the ionicons cheatsheet page. The cheatsheet is likely built with a frontend framework (e.g., Stencil). Investigate the current cheatsheet component in the repository's website folder and integrate the Clipboard API to copy the glyph character. Look at the version 2 implementation (which had this feature) as a reference. No existing PRs or linked issues are related.
