Owner's suggestion (PR #90 review): use Lucide icons where the text is only a label, as the ⋮ menus now do.

Back in PageBar (and the reading pane's footer): an icon instead of "‹ Back". The owner named undo-2. arrow-left or chevron-left is the more usual "back" glyph (undo-2 reads as "undo" in many apps). Pick one and use it in both places. Keep Accessible.name: qsTr("Back").
Search fields (module manager, and any later one): a search glyph at the start of the field, so it's obviously a search. Best as an option on the shared TextEntry (qml/controls/, #91) so every field gets it the same way.
Others as found: the footer's Bible switcher, Retry, Remove…; only where the glyph is unambiguous.

How (as in docs/06 "Menu icons"): Lucide 0.468.0 SVGs in assets/icons/, tools/icons/render.sh to PNGs, icon.source on the control, and no colours of our own (Suru tints, #84). Each new glyph goes in NOTICES.md. The e2e cases tap by reported position, so they don't care about text vs icon. Check the shots and the desktop preview, then the phone (Suru tinting).

Could; it fits with #91 (shared controls) and the later design pass.
