The reply icon in the user menu was not being flipped for RTL languages. The RTL… stylesheet targets `.d-icon-reply` with `transform: scaleX(-1)`, but the icon rendered with class `d-icon-user_menu.replies` instead — the dot made the CSS selector never match. The `iconClasses` function only replaced dotted icon IDs with their mapped replacement for class names when the ID contained "notification.". Other namespaced IDs like "user_menu.replies" and "user_menu.drafts" were used as-is, producing invalid CSS class names. Broadened the condition to replace any icon ID containing a dot, since dots are invalid in CSS class selectors regardless of the namespace. **BEFORE** <img width="1376" height="1164" alt="2026-03-19 @ 09 52 09" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/dbc2be67-2bdf-416e-9eff-c99593af66f8" /> **AFTER** <img width="1376" height="1164" alt="2026-03-19 @ 09 52 00" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/11ecfcc9-2935-4f10-af78-55a9bb3cb4aa" /> https://meta.discourse.org/t/398766
