## Description

Android-Iconics is an icon library wrapper for Android applications that enables the use of icon fonts and SVG vectors as drawables. It provides a system for rendering vector graphics and importing custom icon sets through font files and CSS mappings.

The project includes a dedicated SVG vector renderer and a tool for integrating custom icon fonts. It also features a mirroring utility that automatically flips icons for right-to-left language layouts to maintain visual consistency across different locales.

The library covers icon style customization for properties such as color, size, and padding, and supports embedding icons directly into text strings. It further handles the conversion of vector assets into native drawables for use within user interfaces and layouts.
