get icon in the post

Try: echo get_term_meta( $term_id, 'icon', true );

Where $term_id is the numeric ID of the term you want to get the icon for.

I tried the above code: echo get_term_meta( $term_id, ‘icon’, true );
and the icon is not showing up only it’s name, for example:
dashicons-admin-comments.

I got it working with an added code for displaying the icon image, not only the icon name.

<?php

// get current taxonomy term id on wordpress

$term_id = get_queried_object()->term_id;

// get the icon for the current term_id (found above)

$iconpic = get_term_meta( $term_id, ‘icon’, true );

// show the icon on the page

echo ‘<div class=”dashicons ‘ .$iconpic.'”></div>’;

?>

Please let me know if there is a better way to display the icons on the archive page for the current category / tag.
