You could try

<i class="image" aria-hidden="true"></i>

Ideally, I would try and avoid the scenario where a content-author would be putting in a decorative image. Most instances where it should be null are probably best tackled with a custom content type or as part of the templates.

 

If there are legitimate times when a null alt is appropriate, then I’d suggest adding a tick box to that effect, e.g. [_] No description required.
