Help adding icons to composite column

So I have 6 different icons that I want to have logic for in a custom column, depending on what's inside it.
I've set my column up to grab the pairing type from the tags column, but I want do have 1 icon for everything to make it easier to read. Multiple tags can be in a single column, so I don't think I can just add the icon if the name matches.
In order of precidence, the icons are,

Other
Multi
F/F | F/M | M/M (2+ upgrade to Multi)
Gen

I've been breaking my brain trying to figure out how to get it to work properly with the dev guides, but I can't seem to get it to work properly. Can someone please help me?

I see, you want multiple conditions in one icon.
You'll have to wait for more competent help, sorry

You need to give the rules before I can help you. By "rules" I mean which tag or tags result in which icon? If more than one tag is required, is the rule "any tag" or "all tags" or "some combination of tags"?
