Hi. I’d like to replace the default discourse hamburger icon with the text ‘menu’ and can’t quite seem to get any of the methods I’ve found to work. I don’t mind whether it’s done via CSS or by using the scripting API, any tips would be appreciated.

Try:

```plaintext
#toggle-hamburger-menu {
    &:before {
        content: "Menu";
    }
    svg {
        display: none;
    }
}

```
