Silly little question: I love that pythonista ships with a couple big sets of nice open-source icon libraries, but there's one icon that shows up in the pythonista interface, which I don't see in those sets...but which I'd love to be able to use.

It's the little "rename" icon which shows up any time you can edit the name of a file by tapping the title in the editor view. Small insertion caret with ellipsis inside a box. Anyone know if that icon is available somehow? Or if the actual graphics of pythonista's icons are accessible somewhere? I've searched for that same icon online, but can't find it.

@shinyformica not sure it is an icon. I think it is a button with title of special characters.
3 first are bullets, not yet found the caret/cursor one.
See

import ui
v = ui.View()
v.background_color = 'white'
b = ui.Button()
b.frame = (50,50,30,20)
b.title = '\u2022\u2022\u2022'  # bullet characters
b.border_width = 1
b.corner_radius = 5
v.add_subview(b)
v.present()

Try to look for a rename png file like in here:

import os

pythonistaDir = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.__file__, '../../../..')+'/EditorActionIcons')

print(os.listdir(pythonistaDir))

@pulbrich I think they are icons visible in the editor via + button and I never have seen the rename one

I really think it is not an I icon because it does not have the same dimension as icons.
If left is 10, right is 11...

Try

import ui
v = ui.View()
v.background_color = 'white'
b1 = ui.Button()
b1.frame = (50,50,32,32)
b1.tint_color = 'black'
b1.image = ui.Image.named('iob:ios7_folder_outline_32')
v.add_subview(b1)
b2 = ui.Button()
d = 18
b2.frame = (90,50+(32-d)/2,30,d)
b2.font = ('Apple Symbols',d-4)
b2.title = '•••𝙸'       # bullets (\u2022) and cursor (b'\\U0001d678') 
b2.border_width = 1
b2.corner_radius = 5
v.add_subview(b2)
v.present()
