With a simple monochrome glyph you can do all those things
programmatically. If you need a dropshadow you just need to apply the
alpha channel onto a black rectangle and blur it. If you need an inset
variant, do the same without blurring, offset by a pixel in Y. Putting
all this styling into the symbol itself is not a good idea in my
opinion.
