Kuika's Icon element is used to convey information quickly and effectively through visual elements in the user interface. Icons are small graphical icons that represent a specific function, state or theme. Icons are an effective way to make it easier for users to navigate your app and increase their engagement. For example, a settings icon can indicate that the user has access to the app's settings, while a heart icon can highlight favorite content. In this tutorial, you will learn how to visualize information and functionality in your app using the Icon element.

The Icon element is supported in web and mobile applications.
