Why is the copy link icon in the review queue an upload icon?
A đź”— icon is the universal symbol for link.

What theme/icon library are you using? Not all icon libraries have a good 1-1 replacement for fontawesome.
Here on Meta it’s as expected

Ooh… Interesting.
The class is `fa d-icon d-icon-d-post-share svg-icon fa-width-auto svg-string`
And when I look at our `/styleguide` this is the icon for that:
However, when I inspect the link icon for sharing a link to a post in an actual thread, it is `fa d-icon d-icon-link svg-icon fa-width-auto svg-string`
So the code is using two different icons, `d-icon-d-post-share` in the review queue and `d-icon-link` for post sharing. That doesn’t seem right.
How do I figure out if I am using a custom icon set? As far as I can tell our theme doesn’t use one. We also don’t have a theme component for replacing icon sets. ask.discourse wasn’t any help

So what does `d-icon-link` look like in the styleguide for you?
Does it happen in safe-mode (just to confirm the TC angle)?

Oh hang on, when was your last update? If before 10 July, this is a leftover accident that has been fixed by now

Oh, sorry. It’s a link.

Ah, OK. Thanks! I did try searching for this on the forum but didn’t find anything. I think we probably updated right around the 10th so that must be it.
Someone just mentioned to me that the problem also exists for the share button at the bottom of a thread. I hope it all got changed to a link icon. That icon now (the tray with the up arrow) is an upload icon.
Thanks so much!

It’s fixed with the latest upgrade.
Thank you!!
