How to add SVG icon as list item bullets

svg-icons-list-item-bullets

Add this sample CSS:

ul.brxe-list {
	list-style: none;
	padding-left: 0;
}

ul.brxe-list li {
	padding-left: 1.5em;
	margin-bottom: 0.5em;
}

ul.brxe-list li::before {
	content: '';
	position: absolute;
	left: 0;
	top: 6px;
	width: 1em;
	height: 1em;
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-image: url("data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?><svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='check-circle' class='svg-inline--fa fa-check-circle fa-w-16' role='img' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 512 512'><path fill='%2315aabf' d='M504 256c0 136.967-111.033 248-248 248S8 392.967 8 256 119.033 8 256 8s248 111.033 248 248zM227.314 387.314l184-184c6.248-6.248 6.248-16.379 0-22.627l-22.627-22.627c-6.248-6.249-16.379-6.249-22.628 0L216 308.118l-70.059-70.059c-6.248-6.248-16.379-6.248-22.628 0l-22.627 22.627c-6.248 6.248-6.248 16.379 0 22.627l104 104c6.249 6.249 16.379 6.249 22.628.001z'></path></svg>");
}

Replace brxe-list with the class of your ul element.

Here’s how you can generate the value of background-image property:

Copy your SVG’s HTML (open the .svg file in a code/text editor to view the HTML) and paste it in the URL-encoder for SVG page in the “Insert SVG” field.

Click “Copy” of the “Ready for CSS:” field.

Paste it in the above code replacing:

background-image: url("data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?><svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='check-circle' class='svg-inline--fa fa-check-circle fa-w-16' role='img' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 512 512'><path fill='%2315aabf' d='M504 256c0 136.967-111.033 248-248 248S8 392.967 8 256 119.033 8 256 8s248 111.033 248 248zM227.314 387.314l184-184c6.248-6.248 6.248-16.379 0-22.627l-22.627-22.627c-6.248-6.249-16.379-6.249-22.628 0L216 308.118l-70.059-70.059c-6.248-6.248-16.379-6.248-22.628 0l-22.627 22.627c-6.248 6.248-6.248 16.379 0 22.627l104 104c6.249 6.249 16.379 6.249 22.628.001z'></path></svg>")

    It works, thanks. Is there a way to change the icon's fill colour in the generated CSS? Here is my CSS:

    background-image: url("data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 24 24' width='24' height='24' color='%23000000' fill='none'%3E%3Cpath opacity='0.4' d='M22 12C22 6.47715 17.5228 2 12 2C6.47715 2 2 6.47715 2 12C2 17.5228 6.47715 22 12 22C17.5228 22 22 17.5228 22 12Z' fill='currentColor' /%3E%3Cpath d='M17 3.33782C15.5291 2.48697 13.8214 2 12 2C6.47715 2 2 6.47715 2 12C2 17.5228 6.47715 22 12 22C17.5228 22 22 17.5228 22 12C22 11.3151 21.9311 10.6462 21.8 10' stroke='currentColor' stroke-width='1.5' stroke-linecap='round' /%3E%3Cpath d='M8 12.5C8 12.5 9.5 12.5 11.5 16C11.5 16 17.0588 6.83333 22 5' stroke='currentColor' stroke-width='1.5' stroke-linecap='round' stroke-linejoin='round' /%3E%3C/svg%3E")

  • Lil' tip: don't forget to add position: relative to the li, otherwise the li::before won't be visible
