Icons

Hi,

I'm having a hard time figuring out how the icons work?

I found this url:
      https://ej2.syncfusion.com/react/documentation/appearance/icons/#material
And this example:
     https://ej2.syncfusion.com/react/documentation/document-editor/how-to/customize-tool-bar/

in the example, there is a reference to:
      prefixIcon: "e-de-ctnr-lock",

but how do I know what name to use? 
I want to show the "M_FormProperties"

Hi Steve, 
 
For each icon, you have to specify Unicode content and You have to refer it from font url(style url). 
 
 
 
We have to add like below: 
 
.M_FormProperties:before{ 
    content:'\e993'; 
} 
 
 
In index.html file you have to refer below link: 
 
<link rel='nofollow' href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/ej2-base/styles/material.css" rel="stylesheet" />
 
 
prefixIcon: "e-de-ctnr-lock", we internally defined this content in DocumentEditor. So, used directly. For custom icons you have to follow below steps. 
 
Regards,

Really helpful explanation! Understanding how the Unicode + CSS approach works makes customizing icons much easier. Thanks for the clear breakdown — here’s a related resource I found useful as well: Corrupted Text Generator

Without a more concrete example or a clearer breakdown of how the icons are supposed to work across components survival race, it’s difficult to understand what the intended behavior actually is

Hi Emma,

As mentioned earlier, please refer to the following documentation to understand how icons work and verify this on your end:

The icon naming system can definitely feel confusing at first. Usually, names like “e-de-ctnr-lock” come from predefined CSS icon classes in Syncfusion’s library. Checking the documentation or inspecting built-in components helps identify available icons. Understanding mappings is important in many systems, just like a wing ding translator converts symbols into readable meaning.

Which icons are you referring to—icons in a particular BasketBros , website, forum, or app? If you send me a screenshot, I can explain what each icon means.
