## Introduction to WordPress Icons

WordPress icons are small graphical elements that help guide users through your website, representing different actions or content. Icons such as a little envelope for email or a shopping cart for an online store are commonplace and serve multiple functions:

- **Space Efficiency**: Icons replace words, making menus and settings look cleaner.
- **Quick Recognition**: Icons like a pencil for "Edit" or a trash can for "Delete" are instantly recognizable.
- **Aesthetic Enhancement**: While WordPress provides standard icons, there's room for creativity with more colorful or unique icons to personalize your site.
