In this video, I walk you through what “HTML icons” really means in practice. HTML5 is a big part of modern web design, and icons are one of those small details that make a page feel more user-friendly and visually appealing. The key point: HTML5 itself doesn’t give you a special tag or syntax just for icons. Instead, you rely on other technologies—mainly CSS and SVG—or you bring in an icon library. I cover two common approaches. First, using icon libraries: these are collections of ready-made icons where you drop a CDN link into your HTML and then display icons using specific classes (Font Awesome is a classic example, often used with an <i> element plus the right class). Second, creating custom icons with SVG. SVG is my go-to when I want scalable, high-quality icons, and I show how simple it can be—even a basic circle icon is just a small SVG snippet. I also share practical tips: size and position icons with CSS, test across devices, and always include an ALT attribute for accessibility and SEO. Finally, I point out common mistakes like forgetting the library link or not validating sizing on different screens.
