I think maybe you can fork the plugin and edit the file on line 14: [discourse-user-notes/plugin.rb at main · discourse/discourse-user-notes · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-user-notes/blob/main/plugin.rb#L14)

I think you can use the plugin API to do it:
> [@Changing the user notes icon](https://meta.discourse.org/t/changing-the-user-notes-icon/261774/2):
>
> You can use the plugin api in a theme component or plugin to do something like:
>
> ```plaintext
> api.replaceIcon('sticky-note', 'heart');
>
> ```
>
> Where `heart` is the name of the emoji you want to use instead.
