Following from [XLS-5d](https://github.com/XRPLF/XLS-0005-standards-for-addressing), it has become necessary to provide XRPL users a way to identify their XRPL account, which effectively now has two different identifiers: an 'r-address' and an 'X-address'.
13+
14+
To solve this problem XLS-6d provides for a standard way to visually identify accounts irrespective of which addressing system is used by the rest of the user interface.
15+
16+
For a user account take the X-address of the account without destination tag and feed it into hashicon https://www.npmjs.com/package/hashicon
17+
18+
For an exchange, take the X-address of the account with the destination tag and feed it into hashicon.
19+
20+
It's recommended that these icons are displayed alongside addresses to help reduce user confusion. See examples in Figures 1 and 2.
