Sorry about the poor image quality but some of my folders look like this. Can you tell me what this folder icon means versus just a regular looking folder icon?

Might the folder really look like this? If so, it's a user's folder.
In any event, it might help if you tell us what type of information is stored in the folder (e.g., user information, library, system, application).
System icons are stored here
Finder>Go>Go to Folder copy and paste:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/yours appears to be third party variation.
it actually doesn't look like that.
The "head" is a sphere
The "body" looks like part of an oval.
I looked through the "resources" folder that you pointed me to. I assume you wanted me to look through that folder to see if I notice the mysterious icon in there. I don't see it in there. Although that may have been what you were saying in your post (that it's not a native iOS icon).
I am seeing the icon for a bunch of folders. I can't recall the exact history of these folders but I believe I had a bunch of them shared with another person or two using Onedrive (this is Microsoft's version of icloud). I may have also had them stored in Google Drive (and shared there).
unfamiliar icon that I would like to know the meaning of
