Bs4dash package affecting custom icon

Question

I have a custom code that adds a home icon to the navbar. Whenever I introduce the BS4DASH package a dot appears alongside the icon. Any solutions that one may have so that the dot doesnt appear.

  tags$li(a(onclick = "openTab('home')",
            href = NULL,
            icon("home"),
            title = "Home",
            
            style = "cursor: pointer;"),
          class = "dropdown",
          tags$script(HTML("
                                       var openTab = function(tabName){
                                       $('a', $('.sidebar')).each(function() {
                                       if(this.getAttribute('data-value') == tabName) {
                                       this.click()
                                       };
                                       });
                                       }")))
