Chapter 83: Icons Chart
1. What is the “Icons Chart” page?
This page lists only the icons that represent charts, graphs, data visualization, statistics, analytics, reports, trends, and business performance indicators.
These icons are extremely useful for:
- Business / startup dashboards
- Analytics / reporting pages
- “Our Growth” / “Performance Stats” sections
- Marketing / sales reports
- Financial / investment tracking apps
- “Key Metrics” / KPI cards
- Data science / BI tool interfaces
- “Yearly Report” / “Monthly Overview” banners
- Pitch decks / investor presentations
- E-commerce admin panels (sales charts)
In Font Awesome 5 free, the Chart category is medium-sized and very practical — around 15–25 icons (mostly solid fas style). Font Awesome 6 and 7 added many more (chart-simple, chart-line-up, chart-pie-simple, chart-network, chart-column, chart-area, chart-scatter), but FA5 free already has the most classic and widely used chart symbols that are still everywhere in business dashboards, admin panels, and reports in 2026.
