Is there some kind of build-in icon in LaTeX to indicate a WWW
hyperlink? Something like that little chain symbol
(http://www.hsu.edu/uploadedImages/Web/hyperlinkicon.jpg):

[icon] http://www.server.tld

Of course, it should be vector based ;-)

Shouldn't be hard to make something like (untested):

\newcommand{\urlicon}{\includegraphics{iconfile.eps}~\url}

If you're using pdflatex, you can use bitmapped formats as well, like
.jpg or .png.

A different approach might be (also untested):

\renewcommand{\UrlLeft}{\includegraphics{iconfile.eps}~}

I'm sorry: rereading your quesion, I see you're asking if "is there a
provided icon", not "how to get it". AFAIK, the answer is "no".
