Sassで可能です！あなたがしなければならない唯一のことはあなたのsvgコードをurlエンコードすることです。そして、これはSassのヘルパー関数で可能です。このためのcodepenを作成しました。これを見てください：

// choose a color
$icon-color: #F84830;
// functions to urlencode the svg string
@function str-replace($string, $search, $replace: '') {
$index: str-index($string, $search);
@if $index {
@return str-slice($string, 1, $index - 1) + $replace + str-replace(str-slice($string, $index + str-length($search)), $search, $replace);
}
@return $string;
}
@function url-encode($string) {
$map: (
