So that icon is from the "rosettaicons" font family. When zoomed in (i used firebug in lieu of actually grabbing the font pack), you see all the rounded edges:



The closest I got to simple geometry ended up like this:

Based on this Twitter icon:



(From si0.twimg.com/images/dev/cms/intents/icons/reply_hover.png)


Two ellipses, a rectangle, a triangle, and a sheared rectangle (parallelogram).


The larger ellipse minus the smaller ellipse
Minus the rectangle.
Combine with the triangle
Minus the parallelogram.


Alternate style as per www.google.com.au/search?q=twitter+reply+icon:


Two ellipses, a rectangle and a triangle.


The larger ellipse minus the smaller ellipse
Minus the rectangle.
Combine with the triangle.
