Icons don't warn about Win10 not supported #1557

Open

Description

Which version of the app?

WinUI 3 Gallery

Description

On the Iconography page it's too easy to go pick an icon glyph and add it to your app, not realizing it won't work on Windows 10. For instance the following will render a square placeholder on Windows 10:

<FontIcon Glyph="&#xEBD3;" />

However this will render fine:

<FontIcon Glyph="&#xE896;" />

With so many users still on Win10, it needs to be made easier to avoid making such mistakes, since it can get caught too late in the dev process if the developers are using Win11 machines.
