Avatar

An avatar is an element that can be used to personalize a display (for example, to display an image or the initials of a user) or to act as signals to indicate the status of content. You can include a link with the avatar so that if a user clicks on it, they can go to a different URL.

Use cases:

• display an image or text (usually initials) to represent a user
• personalize the experience for a user

Example

This simple example displays a green circular avatar with text (initials).
