To the original version of the question (although it also applies to the edited one)
You can use textual icons from the font Ubuntu:
How to set up
Copy the global
rhythmbox.desktop
file to~/.local/share/applications
:Open the local copy with (e.g.)
gedit
:Now scroll to the shortcut sections, looking like:
Now copy the corresponding character from Sepecial Characters and edit the line
Name=Play/Pause
into:Name=⇫ Play/Pause
. Don't change the other lines..Edit the other shortcut sections similarly. Now log out and back in, and you're done.
