in etc/afpd you'll find the file "icon.h". There are a bunch of #ifelse things but fundamentally each defines the same thing: an array called 'icon'. Look for this:
#else
const u_char icon[] = { /* globe */
0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0xF, 0xF0, 0x0,
0x0, 0x30, 0xC, 0x0, 0x0, 0xC0, 0x3, 0x0...... etc
What you have here is 128 bytes (32 rows of 32 bits) of bitmap data followed by 128 bytes of icon mask, for a total of 256 bytes. I can only say that this is where the "globe" icon comes from, and haven't played with these things to know how extensible this might be to add other data structures (like 'cicn's or whatever).
