@Qt-embedded-developer You can use one of the https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qicon.html#pixmap methods to get QPixmap, then rotate it using https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qpixmap.html#transformed and constrcu QIcon again from that rotated QPixmap.

@jsulm I have tried many things .

So I think qt does not support the rotate function for font awesome icon.

Is it true or not ?

If its true then please provide provide example for rotate font awesome icon ICON_BOLT [ \uF0E7]

ui->label_2->setText(ICON_BOLT);

@jsulm i think your suggested property only can rotate image but can not rotate font awesome icon
