Bold Italic Underline icons are confusing because they all have "A" for icon.

For Ex: icon for Bold should be "B" because it is first letter in word bold same should apply for Italic

I disagree, your proposition is applicable only for English UI. Does that means we need to translate icons too?
For me the choice of Microsoft Office is a localization bug.

I suggest to close this bug report as NotABug.

Users are already free to select something they find appealing.

Spend some time in Tools -> Options -> View: User Interface. You'll see that only Tango and Sifr exhibit use of lower case "a".

Galaxy, Oxygen, and the latest Breeze icon set use stylized "B", "I", "U", even "S"

Resolved Invalid.

I don’t think that an “a” makes those icons confusing, it’s just you didn’t expect them to be like that.
