  • New Icon

Description

Added new blank icon.

Icon use case

Blank icons are used as visual placeholders when an icon isn’t needed, but the surrounding layout requires consistent spacing. This is especially useful in components like buttons or list items, where some elements include icons and others do not. Without a placeholder, items without icons can appear misaligned, breaking visual harmony. A blank icon preserves this alignment without rendering any visible symbol.

In many UI libraries, icons are typically passed as attributes (e.g., icon="edit"). While this is convenient, it makes it difficult to apply conditional styling or spacing when no icon is supplied. As a result, layouts can become inconsistent. By explicitly passing a blank icon, you can maintain a uniform appearance across all elements without any CSS hacks or wrappers.
