If we can use the actual symbols, I can see this as being helpful for some questions.
If we cannot use the actual symbols, I see no point in this feature. Why make people learn another symbol? The text representation of mana symbols { {B}, {U}, {W}, {R}, {G}, {1} } are used in the comprehensive rules.
Further, would we want to do this for all mana/tap symbols or just the basic ones? The list of mana symbols will quickly grow when we start to include the 1-15+ colorless mana symbols, dual mana symbols, phyrexian mana symbols, ect... What do we do when WotC decides to add more symbols to the game? Can we commit to updating our MTG symbols every couple months? I do not know how the script/icons are implemented on SE sites, but my guess is no.
{1}{G}{U}{B}{R}{W}
shorthand to icons.
