SUMMARY
As title says.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have Breeze (or Breeze Dark) as your icon theme
2. Open a GTK3 application, that has a spinbutton widget (number input with -+ buttons)
3. Look at the widget

OBSERVED RESULT
The widget has an X instead of a - for the icon

EXPECTED RESULT
The decrease value icon is still a -, as it was previously

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0
Qt Version: 6.7.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
 I use Artix (based on Arch), fully upgraded. With downgrade I see that version 6.6.0-1 shows the bug, but 6.5.0-1 does not. It happens with new users and switching to another icon theme also fixes it (papirus was tested). GTK4 is not affected.

This is a bug in GTK, which uses that icon inappropriately. So when we changed it in the Breeze theme, it made spinboxes look wrong. In GTK4 they fixed this and made their spinboxes use a different icon that isn't also used for removing list items.

Can you report this to GTK and ask them to backport that change to GTK 3 as well? Thanks!
