This theme component allows you to change the icon to the
icon – or any other font awesome 5.5 glyph you prefer.
Since we switched to Font Awesome 5, we built an internal API that delivers a subset of all FA icons to clients – only those icons actively used by Discourse. Site owners can use the
svg icon subset
site setting to register additional icons for their Discourse instance.

If desired,
- you can change the color of the like icon via

This is a theme component, so add the component to your main theme(s).
