Using Esri Icon Fonts with map graphics

Note: Support for 3D on mobile devices may vary, view the system requirements for more information.

One potential use of the Esri Icon Fonts is to use them as symbol property of Graphic.

In the code snippet below, a TextSymbol is created by specifying the color, text, and font. The font property is created by autocasting the Font class. Set the font family property to calcite-web-icons to access the Esri Icon Fonts.

const textSymbol = {
  type: "text",  // autocasts as new TextSymbol()
  color: "#7A003C",
  text: "\ue61d",  // esri-icon-map-pin
  font: {  // autocasts as new Font()
    size: 36,
    family: "calcite-web-icons"  // Esri Icon Font
  }
};

Note that if we were using a 3D SceneView, we would set the font family property to CalciteWebCoreIcons.
