In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use Google Material Symbols (formerly Google Material Icons) on any Squarespace site. I am using version 7.1 in this tutorial, but it works for older versions too. Here are the steps we are going to take:
1 – we’ll customize the style of the icons
2 – we’ll add the stylesheet link to the code injection of your site
3- using some CSS, we’ll customize the color and size of the icon
4 – we’ll place the icon on your site in a markdown block AND in a code block.
If you’re using a Squarespace business or commerce plan, you can follow this step by step. If you are using a personal subscription plan, you’ll need to add the whole thing in a code block on the specific page you want the icons on.

Here is the code from this tutorial that changes the font size and color:
font-size: 5rem!important;
color: blue!important
