To add a custom icon in Quill.js toolbar, you will need to create a new icon using SVG format. Once you have your custom icon ready, you can add it to the toolbar by creating a new toolbar item with the icon as its content. You can then define a handler function for this toolbar item to specify the action it should perform when clicked. Finally, you need to register this new toolbar item with Quill by adding it to the modules.toolbar configuration option. This will make your custom icon appear in the toolbar and be functional within the Quill editor.
