Discourse-reactions default like icon remains invisible

Continuing the discussion from Discourse Reactions:

In the screenshot below, we can see that the default icon for reactions is missing in the first post. The button is there and active (we can react) and the reactions will show, as in the second post.

Question is: how to restore the default icon when there is no reaction yet?

Settings:

• icon heart-pulse for like icon
• etc. emojis
• desaturated reaction panels

Thank you!

Indeed, @Lilly’s workaround works fine:

I hope the UI vs. emojis vs. SVGs discrepancies will be solved soon.

Thank you @Moin!
