I would like to display the ORCID id in author list in IEEEtran pdf, like that

Is there a standard way to include it in an IEEEtran article with PdfLaTex?
I used two approaches in Is there a standard way to include ORCID in TeX / PDF?, but I failed.

One is to insert the ORCID icon in the author list. I used the blow code:

author{Ali Al-Obaidi href{https://orcid.org/0000-0000-0000-0000}{includegraphics[scale=1]{figures/orcid_16x16.png}}}

where orchid_16x16.png is provided in the link https://orcid.org/trademark-and-id-display-guidelines. But the result is that the icon is not clear enough, even I replaced it with the different size.

The other approach is to use the academicons package, like that

usepackage{academicons}

definecolor{orcidlogocol}{HTML}{A6CE39}

author{AAA href{https://orcid.org/0000-0000-0000-0000}{textcolor{orcidlogocol}{aiOrcid}}}

However, the result is like that:

And I also got two errors "Latex Error: Encoding scheme 'TU' unknown" and "Bad character code (59865)".
In the lastest academicons.sty (see ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/fonts/academicons/academicons.sty), academicons use the font TU. However, it seems that the compiler PdfLatex cannot support this font.

Thus, is there anyone that knows a standard way to include it in an IEEEtran article with PdfLaTex? Help me.

Here is a pdflatex solution which uses tikz and the original .svg of the orcid icon.

Here are the steps:

1. Using the svg.path TikZ library you can faithfully replicate the icon.




2. I've used the scalerel package to scale the icon to the size of | (a vertical bar). This means it scales nicely with the size of the font. No special reason for choosing | other than it makes the size and placement roughly match the guidelines on the orcid website, which illustrate the icon placement should look something like this:

3. This has all been wrapped in a command called orcidicon which takes as an input the orcid code, e.g. orcidicon{0000-0000-0000-0000}.




4. href takes care of making it hyperlinked.

Note to get a bit of additional spacing after the logo I've used , to add some thinspace.

Inspired by Using TikZ to create a custom word which combines an svg image and text.
