@Richard Heap and @pskink based on your answers I was trying and came up with this: Thank you guys this is what I too was searching for.

final icon = Icons.add;
TextPainter textPainter = TextPainter(textDirection: TextDirection.rtl);
textPainter.text = TextSpan(text: String.fromCharCode(icon.codePoint),
        style: TextStyle(fontSize: 40.0,fontFamily: icon.fontFamily));
textPainter.layout();
textPainter.paint(canvas, Offset(50.0,50.0));

Just to add a small but important detail, if you are trying to render an icon from an external icon pack (such a Material Design Icons or FontAwesome) you need to add the package parameter in the TextStyle.

final icon = MdiIcons.check;
TextPainter textPainter = TextPainter(textDirection: TextDirection.ltr);
textPainter.text = TextSpan(
  text: String.fromCharCode(icon.codePoint),
  style: TextStyle(
    color: Colors.black,
    fontSize: size,
    fontFamily: icon.fontFamily,
    package: icon.fontPackage, // This line is mandatory for external icon packs
  ),
);
textPainter.layout();
textPainter.paint(canvas, Offset(x, y));
