Description
Some vector drawable paths do not center the icon within the viewport. This was recently corrected on Simplenote. See the enlarged icon with centered squares below as an example from that pull request.
Both icons created from the Material Icons site and directly in Android Studio can be off-centered. One example is ic_view_post_full_white_24dp, which comes from the view_day Material icon.
All icons should be checked to determine if they need to be centered or remain technically off-center to be better optically.

Research direction
Start with ic_view_post_full_white_24dp and compare its vector viewport and path positioning with the centered example in Simplenote PR 666. Review the other vector drawable icons for the same issue, checking Material Icons and Android Studio-generated paths. Done means every icon has been checked and is centered where appropriate, while intentionally off-center icons remain so for optical balance.
