In previous builds without Qt themes, the search option was a space. This text should be used as a replacement. If someone wants to port it, or the theme is missing, this will not lose the icon.

This is the icon we are using:

On that screenshot the theme is not working properly, hence the icon is not used. Just using an unicod character will not fix the underlying issue. We need to find out why the correct theme is not being used in your example, but that is a separate issue.
What we could do is use the unicode icon as a fallback icon for cases when the real icon from the theme cannot be found for whatever reason.
