Description

### Your use case

Like Element Web/Desktop for the meta-spaces, the tabs feature in the new layout should use icons instead of texts
![Screenshot_2022-09-16-11-01-12-386](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/47475676/190646234-7797a3e9-538e-418e-8480-42a40f5e95f8.jpg)
While the texts are just one word for each in English, some languages (like Indonesian in this case), two or more words will be needed

### Have you considered any alternatives?

If this not possible, take a look at WhatsApp where category titles are all in CAPS, though the words might not fit in the tab for the new layout in Element Android

### Additional context

### Are you willing to provide a PR?
