I have seen in Yahoo and other sites including sites for mobile where they have this little arrows pointing up and down and these seem to scale when one zooms into the viewport. They seem crisp on every resolution level as well and I am looking to create something similar. Here is the arrow I am talking about:

This arrow is from the yahoo "Download All" button. Was it done with SVG, is it a UTF-8 symbol? Can this be done in CSS?

You could use something like Font Awesome.
http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/
Font Awesome is for use with Bootstrap but there are many similar fonts ets out there for regular use too.
Here's an article detailing some:

These icon sets are usually scaleable vector icons meaning they will work well at different resolutions.

Is there an HTML code for this character? If there is, can you all let me know what it is? If there is no HTML code for this character, can you let me know what this glyph is called? I had been looking all over the place for it, and today I happened to stumble upon it.
Most icon libraries use a variant of "share" as the terminology for this icon.
Here are a couple of examples :
Material Design Icons calls it share.
AntDesign calls it share-alt
That is the share icon. I think FontAwesome has it, or if you want exactly like that you can search for it on FlatIcon.

Something that I usually do is getting all the icons that I will use on the project and make it into a font. I use this service to help me with that: https://icomoon.io/app/
I think it's called a SHARE ICON

I'm working on redesigning my small business website, so i figured, why not learn something while doing it! :p
Anyways... I am trying to get my logo into the HTML.
The --free and open-source... I might add-- template I used had a placeholder glyph that looks dang good. I cannot find out how to add my logo by making it a glyph. I have a SVG/AI/png/etc of my logo, but cannot figure out how to easily edit the font file to add glyphs.
I currently have it set as an image, but since this template updates sizes of things if u r on desktop, vs mobile, it doesn't look right.
I got it to kinda work with the BirdFont app to edit the font, but then when I edited it, all of the other glyphs went away, and the sizes were off.
With the pre-installed glyphs, you summon a glyph by:
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-GLYPH_NAME_HERE"></span>
Also, in BirdFont, i couldn't edit the name that goes to glyphicon-GLYPH_NAME_HERE, so i just edited one of them that I know i won't be using.
TL:DR; What's an easy, quick, reliable way to edit a font file, containing glyphs, to add my logo -- as a glyph?
Thanks so much!
You may try Fontastic, which allows you to create fonts with lots of vector icons from multiple sources, and add your own icons (Add more Icons -> Import icons) from SVG files or SVG fonts.
edit the glyphicon css file for a glyph that you aren't using, and set that value to your new image.

I came across some nice CSS designs that I am trying to replicate on my own site. The problem is, the designs were presented as images...screenshots of the actual page. This means I've been trying to replicate the design in my own CSS.
Here is the problem: the text I am rendering is colored as grayscale (all rgb values are equal) in my CSS, but if I screenshot my page and zoom in, you can see colored pixels throughout the text. The original design does not have those...it is perfectly gray, and thus, looks much more smooth.
Here is the original at regular size (very smooth looking):
And here it is zoomed in (notice that all pixels are grayscale):
Now, here is my attempt at regular size (notice how rough it looks):
And zoomed in (see all the colored pixels):
What on earth in happening here? How can I achieve the smooth look of the original design, without the colored pixels?
The original author might have been using a different system when they took the screen shot. Mac and Windows machines smooth fonts differently. There is a -webkit-font-smoothing property, but I think this will only apply to Safari on Mac in the future.
I often experiment with text-shadow to achieve smoother looking fonts. Results vary depending on how much contrast there is with the text and background.

Since font rendering is a nightmare on cross platforms (i.e. windows has very ugly anti aliasing, and TTF fonts are not anti aliased at all) I came up with the idea to create a png file for every heading in my design.
My question however implies that if I would create a H1 html element and hide it with CSS while the title is shown by a png image, would search engines this work around?
What you are proposing is a very common method for replacing text with an image. Search engines don't mind.
I would suggest that instead of hiding the element, move it off-screen, -5000px or so. Also, your users are probably going to hate you, since your site will be slow. Best just to deal with the typography as it is. I don't know what Windows system you're using, but anti-aliasing works just fine on all of my Windows boxes. If you need a different font, consider web fonts.

what is the best for design full icons and images sprite for big site.. before UI Development or after ?
I don't believe that this is programming-related for one second, however I'd suggest that the best time for designing the icons and images for a site would be the same time at which the UI is being designed, since the icons/images have to fit the general aesthetic of the site itself.
Obviously this is only the initial design (and don't be afraid to amend, revise, re-design later) but it seems a mistake to think of icons and UI separately as distinct entities, rather than...symbiotic, maybe?
