How to use SVG in a reactor without using safeouslySetInnerHTML?

Question

I created a React component for the Facebook icon, which can be used in the footer. Unfortunately, this will not work if I do not use it dangerouslySetInnerHTML, so the icon appears - however it looks broken.

Here is the code for the Facebook component:

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

class Facebook extends React.Component{
 render() {
   var svgString = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?><!-- Generator: Adobe Illustrator 16.0.0, SVG Export Plug-In . SVG Version: 6.00 Build 0)  --><!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"><div><span id="facebook"><svg version="1.1" id="Capa_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px" width="49.652px" height="49.652px" viewBox="0 0 49.652 49.652" style="enable-background:new 0 0 49.652 49.652;" xml:space="preserve" class="icon"><g><circle cx="25" cy="25" r="20" class="circle" fill="white"/><path d="M24.826,0C11.137,0,0,11.137,0,24.826c0C49.652,11.137,38.516,0,24.826,0z M31,25.7h-4.039c0,6.453,0,14.396,0,14.396h-5.985c0,0,0-7.866,0-14.396h-2.845v-5.088h2.845v-3.291c0-2.357,1.12-6.04,6.04-6.04l4.435,0.017v4.939c0,0-2.695,0-3.219,0c-0.524,0-1.269,0.262-1.269,1.386v2.99h4.56L31,25.7z" /></g></svg></span>'
   return (
     <div>
    <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: svgString }} />
     </div>
   )
 }
};


export default Facebook;

and here is the code for the original SVG

SVGs should work natively in React, there is no need to set DOCTYPE and XML encoding, version or namespace (JSX is not XML, it is similar to XML):

render() {
  return (
    <div>
      <svg version="1.1" id="Capa_1" x="0px" y="0px" width="49.652px" height="49.652px" viewBox="0 0 49.652 49.652" style="enable-background:new 0 0 49.652 49.652;" className="icon">
        <g>
          <circle cx="25" cy="25" r="20" className="circle" fill="white"/>
          <path d="M24.826,0C11.137,0,0,11.137,0,24.826c0,13.688,11.137,24.826,24.826,24.826c13.688,0,24.826-11.138,24.826-24.826
            C49.652,11.137,38.516,0,24.826,0z M31,25.7h-4.039c0,6.453,0,14.396,0,14.396h-5.985c0,0,0-7.866,0-14.396h-2.845v-5.088h2.845
            v-3.291c0-2.357,1.12-6.04,6.04-6.04l4.435,0.017v4.939c0,0-2.695,0-3.219,0c-0.524,0-1.269,0.262-1.269,1.386v2.99h4.56L31,25.7z
          " />
        </g>
      </svg>
    </div>
  )
}

Also make sure classless className.
