gollark: https://github.com/google/iconvg is a similar thing.
gollark: Haiku has a cool compact format for icons (HVIF).
gollark: Mostly SVG, there aren't widely deployed good alternatives.
gollark: It's ridiculously verbose and XMLy. Even the "tiny" SVG standards allow stuff like embedded CSS and *JavaScript*.
gollark: SVG is, to be fair, an awful format.
