The process for dynamically loading mui icons from mui in TypeScript involves the following steps:

1. Install the necessary packages: First, you need to install the necessary packages for using MUI icons. You can install the "@mui/material-icons" package to access the MUI icons library.

npm install @mui/material-icons

1. Import the required modules: Next, you need to import the required modules for using the MUI icons. You can import the "Icon" component from the "@mui/material-icons" package.

import Icon from '@mui/material/Icon';

1. Dynamically load the icon: To dynamically load the MUI icons, you can use the "createSvgIcon" function from the "@mui/material-icons" package. This function returns a component that can be used to render the icon. You need to import the "createSvgIcon" function and define a custom icon component.

import { createSvgIcon } from '@mui/material/Icon';

const CustomIcon = createSvgIcon(
  <>
    // add SVG paths here 
  </>,
  'CustomIcon'
);

1. Use the dynamically loaded icon: Finally, you can use the custom icon component in your React component by passing it as a child to the "Icon" component.

import React from 'react';
import Icon from '@mui/material/Icon';
import { createSvgIcon } from '@mui/material/Icon';

const CustomIcon = createSvgIcon(
  <>
    // add SVG paths here 
  </>,
  'CustomIcon'
);

export default function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <div>
      // render the custom icon 
      <Icon>
        <CustomIcon />
      </Icon>
    </div>
  );
}
