Dashicons as Post Type Icon

It’s very simple to use WordPress's built-in icon font dashicons for a custom post type menu icon. When you register a post type, set the menu_icon argument to the CSS class of the dashicon you wish to use.

// Testimonials management
      register_post_type( 'testimonials', [
        'public' => true,
        'menu_icon' => 'dashicons-format-status',
        'label' => 'Testimonials',
        'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'custom-fields' )
      ] );
