I tried uploading an image as a SVG file, but when I open the app I just see a blank screen.

Are you sure that the Image component can work with SVG? I believe that it is better to open SVG in WebViewer.

No, actually I’m now pretty convinced it doesn’t work. Also, I can’t use the web viewer component because I need that image to be on a button.

Anyway, thank you for your response!

On the button you can arrange a suitable Unicode character. Only not all symbols are supported.
