See Hardcoded Icons for a basic list, these are loaded by name by the engine, not from a 2da file.

These are referenced by 2da directly or indirectly. Many of these are pretty much only there for the TLK reference and icon.

2da file	Bioware Default Prefixes	Icon Type
actions.2da	ir_	A subset of actions - not all of them are here naturally, but most are. The icons appear in the radials, and top left "action queue" as appropriate.
classes.2da	ir_	Class icons are shown generally in levelup screens only. Note creature classes just default to ir_wizard (or ir_cleric for oozes) because it doesn't really matter (note for Ooze, most of the cleric line was copied)
baseitems.2da	w (weapon) iw (default weapon icon) it_ (item) iit_ (default item icon) cloak (cloaks) a (armor)	Shown in all sorts of places. The "Defaault" ones shouldn't usually show up.
domains.2da	id_	Domain icons as show in the level up and character sheet.
effecticons.2da	ief_	Effect Icons such as "ief_damresist" for damage resistance, on the character sheet, examine panel and top right of the players screen for effects on self. Helpful tip; different immunities, or damage type immunities can be specified exactly here (eg; Immunity to Critical Hits can have a different icon from all the other immunities)
feat.2da	ife_
spells.2da	is_ (usual spells) ir_ (several generic monster abilities/activate item)	Spell icons, used in levelup, spell books, action radials, spells cast from non-scrolls etc.
iprp_spells.2da	iss_	Scroll icons - the icon that replaces the blank scroll directly (ie it has the scroll background etc.). If the spell is being cast from another item type it'll go into a radial and look for the usual spell icon (see spells.2da)
