import androidx.compose.material.icons.Icons
import androidx.compose.material.icons.filled.Favorite
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import androidx.compose.ui.semantics.contentDescription
import androidx.compose.ui.semantics.semantics

BottomNavigation {
    BottomNavigationItem(
        icon = {
            BadgedBox(
                badge = {
                    Badge {
                        val badgeNumber = "8"
                        Text(
                            badgeNumber,
                            modifier =

                                },
