Recently, I came across an interesting SVG file depicting a question mark enclosed in a circle. Intrigued by its design, I wanted to extract the paths from this SVG image so that I could integrate it directly into my codebase. Following some online tutorials and utilizing GIMP for the conversion process seemed like a plausible solution.
However, after meticulously following the steps outlined on Stack Overflow, I encountered a roadblock. The resulting path only represented the outline of the circle excluding the intricate question mark within. A snippet of the modified SVG file revealed this discrepancy:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
