Description

Similar to other icons, we should use an SVG for the toggle icon in the header. Although the W3C validator issues a warning (see: W3C Validator), it doesn't appear to be causing any usability issues, so I have classified this as an enhancement rather than a bug.

Research direction

Locate the header toggle implementation and compare it with the other icons that already use SVG. Replace the private-use Unicode character with an SVG for the toggle, then check the rendered header and the W3C Validator result to confirm the change.
