Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes.

The glyph-name attribute specifies the name of a glyph.

It is recommended that glyph names be unique within a font. The glyph names can be used in situations where Unicode character numbers do not provide sufficient information to access the correct glyph, such as when there are multiple glyphs per Unicode character.

The glyph names can be referenced in kerning definitions created by <hkern> and <vkern> elements.

You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:

<glyph>
