Icon disappearing in IE9 and IE10 when rotated

Question

I am having issue in IE9, IE10 and IOS 8 when used transform: rotate(180deg), the icon is disappearing.

I tried using -ms vendor prefix but no use.

JSFIDDLE
Test on Modern.ie

.down-arrow {
  -ms-transform: rotate(180deg);
  transform: rotate(180deg);
  -ms-transform-origin: center;
  transform-origin: center;
  width: 16px;
  height: 16px;
}
svg {
  max-height: 100%;
  max-width: 100%;
  vertical-align: top;
}

<div style="display:none">
  <svg>
    <symbol id="down-arrow">
      <path fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" d="M4.527,6.854L0.202,1.042c-0.269-0.288-0.269-0.754,0-1.042h8.621
c0.269,0.288,0.269,0.755,0,1.042" />
    </symbol>
  </svg>
</div>
<div class="down-arrow">
  <svg>
    <use xlink:href="#down-arrow"></use>
  </svg>
</div>

And I think this is not only with SVG but also when used html elements. Check this example fiddle.

.down-arrow {
  width: 0;
  height: 0;
  border-width: 12px;
  border-color: #000 transparent transparent transparent;
  border-style: solid;
  -ms-transform: rotate(180deg);
  transform: rotate(180deg);
  -ms-transform-origin: center;
  transform-origin: center;
}

<div class="down-arrow"></div>

you can use SVG for Everybody,

I have created test pen here: http://codepen.io/mkdizajn/pen/PbyZoM also I have tested on WIN 7 and IE9 and image is here:

The only thing that I did was that I included external JS file:

https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/svg4everybody/2.1.3/svg4everybody.min.js

and called

svg4everybody();

hope that helps
