The search icon found in the homepage of wikipedia looks a little odd. The icon, especially the tail portion of it, seems to be of low quality (at least in my browser). I guess it should be modified.

@Kaartic Weird, is it a high resolution (HiDPI) screen?
But even then it shouldn't result in such hard edges.

The monitor might be very high res like 4K, or it might be a resolution in between 1 and 2x, in which case it would still receive the 1x image. In any case, replacing the icons with SVG's T129634 would fix this

@Volker_E No, I guess it's just somewhere around 105ppi. I guess that's considered LDPI.
