There is an icon in the list-style, you could maybe use that:
<style>
div.note {
display: list-item;
list-style: url(note.png);
margin: 1em 3em
}
</style>
<div class=note>
<p>This is the text of the note, with an icon to the left of the
first line.
<p>Unfortunately, I'm afraid it will be a few months more before
browsers implement this &sadsmiley;
</div>
