Yes. It's normal. It's just the way the developers chose to make the icons.
The A doesn't mean anything. It just stands for text. Bold A = bold text,
etc. There may be replacement icons out there but I don't know. All the icon
has to do is convey the meaning. Now that you know the meaning there is
probably little benefit in changing it.
