`register_svg_icon` will work for any SVG, it isn’t specific to Font Awesome

So you’d add a new sprite with your icon, like `svg-icons/sprite.svg` — the guidance on the spritesheet is the same as [Replace Discourse's default SVG icons with custom icons in a theme](https://meta.discourse.org/t/replace-discourses-default-svg-icons-with-custom-icons-in-a-theme/115736) (so make sure to set an id)

Then in `plugin.rb` you can do:

`register_svg_icon "my-svg-id`"
