You can refer to the character using its numeric reference so the word isn't in the HTML. For the home icon, you can use the following.

<i class="material-icons">&#xE88A;</i>

It looks like you just need to remove the text "home_icon" from your HTML source code:

<a href="/">
<i class="material-icons right" data-material-icon="home_icon"></i>
Home
</a>


That <i> just gets replaced by the icon in the page, so the users don't see the text. It isn't necessary to have that text there even for screen readers because the duplicate word "Home" would appear right next to it.
