The dashicon used for the play/pause icon was rendering visibly below the button text — dashicon font metrics sit the glyph low inside its own box, so even with `inline-flex` centering the symbol looked like it was on a separate row from the word "Play". Swap dashicons-controls-play / dashicons-controls-pause for plain Unicode glyphs (▶ / ‖) which render on the text baseline like any other character. Flex container changed to align-items: baseline. font-variant-emoji: text on the glyph span to keep platforms that might otherwise pick up an emoji variant of ▶ as monochrome text. Files: radio.php (version), inc/admin-page.php + inc/dashboard-widget.php (dashicon span → glyph span), assets/css/radio.css (drop dashicon-sizing rule, add .radio-player__play-glyph, baseline alignment), assets/js/radio.js (setPlayIcon swaps glyph textContent instead of dashicon className), inc/about.php (history entry).
