It is the icon for the Console app to display log messages. There is no problem. You can remove it from your dock like normal by dragging it to the Desktop.

Why did I get the terminal icon in my dock? I have a brand new Mac mini with M2 chip. I am new to the Mac as well, I don't know what or if I did something to get the "TERMINAL" DOS-looking icon on my dock. is it malware working or did I do something wrong? I am concerned why it's there and appreciate any input that would help me understand the how and why and how to get rid of it. Thank you!
