This is a special icon that requires setting entity property Bound Command. The following example sets Bound Command to "jump" (without quotations) with Caption set to "Bet you can't jump over me!" (without quotations).
In this case, "+jump" is bound to "SPACE", the space bar on the keyboard. More commands can be found in the Left 4 Dead 2 cfg folder. Open config.cfg in a text editor to review which commands are currently bound to the client.
