### About SVG icons
We introduced SVG icons in version `3.9.0`, replacing font icons. This has the following benefits:
- Complete offline usage of icons, without dependency on a CDN-hosted font icon file (No more empty square during downloading and no need to deploy icon font files locally either!)
- Much more display accuracy on lower-resolution screens
- The ability to choose icon color
- No need to change built-in icons with overriding styles by providing more props in component

```
