How to edit my-account-link in Magento2?

Question

I'm using Magento 2. I tried to edit the my-account-link element ("My Account" link in the top bar), I just want to change the text with an icon but I can't find the phtml file to edit!

I've tried to enable the path hints but doesn't take me to the proper file to edit.

It is set from the xml file at below location :

/magento-root/vendor/magento/module-customer/view/frontend/layout/default.xml

 <block class="Magento\Customer\Block\Account\Link" name="my-account-link">
        <arguments>
               <argument name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="true">My Account</argument>
        </arguments>
  </block>
