Well, it works well with those particular glyphs, but you need both
\rotate and \mirror for other Dingbats.

Unfortunately, some are drawn so that you can't really get good opposing
pairs out of them (e.g. FrontTiltedShadowedWhiteRightwardsArrow, which is
simply a vertical mirror image BackTiltedShadowedWhiteRightwardsArrow).
