app_indicator_set_icon_full() uses "IconName" dbus method via GDBusInterfaceVTable.get_property() and it supports icon names only.
But I'd like to draw a string on the panel icon instead of the static icon files without linking QT libraries, QIcon, QPixmap.
E.g. a new API, app_indicator_set_icon_string("EN")
I need to draw the language prefix, "EN", "FR", "JA".

I could do it with GtkStatusIcon with gtk_status_icon_set_from_pixbuf(). I created GdkPixbuf dynamically and changes the icon.
Since my app is GTK and try to use appindicator for KDE5.

Title:
  appindicator does not render string icons.

Status in indicator-application package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  It seems KDE5 does not support GtkStatusIcon.
  I create a GdkPixbuf from cairo which shows dynamic string icon in the image and use gtk_status_icon_set_from_pixbuf() to show the icon.
  I cannot find the similar way in appindicator to show one or two characters in the panel icon.
