Description

Currently the Arabic version of the "info" icon appears visual too large and unbalanced. This is compared to usage of the version of the icon in other languages, where the size was fixed in T311382: Update 'info' icon in OOUI and Codex.

Event Timeline

Recently in T399175, a new 'lightbulbOutline' icon was added alongside existing 'lightbulb' (which is used instead of 'info' in Arabic). That icon is much closer in visual weight, and I think it will look a lot better in this context.

Actually, that may have been the intended use of lightbulbOutline.svg in T399175 all along, but perhaps it was missed during the implementation? The table on that task uses it for "Info (ar)":
