In this picture, you can see the reported possibilities of this particular AC unit:
The climate card does not display icons for many of the features:
It would be great if there were an option to define custom icons, like this:
type: climate-fan-modes
fan_modes:
- mode: auto
icon: mdi:fan-auto
- mode: '1'
icon: mdi:fan-speed-1
- mode: '2'
icon: mdi:fan-speed-2
- mode: '3'
icon: mdi:fan-speed-3
- mode: '4'
icon: mdi:fan-speed-4
HA has always been great with customization, and I believe this would be a valuable addition.
Agreed!
It would be better if can define “name” for every fan mode.
It should be done by the integration to define proper names and icons using translations so I would open an issue for the particular integration and ask that it would be added.

Icons: Entity | Home Assistant Developer Docs
I’m aware that the responsibility of correct naming lies with the integration. However, sometimes the integrations don’t follow the guidelines, and if the code owners do not care, you’re just stuck as an end user.
The idea of allowing users to overwrite the icon puts control back in their hands, even if the integration does not adhere to the guidelines.
