That's the icon for the active sim card. If you're using a Samsung, you can go to settings>connections>sim card manager>sim 1 or sim 2>icon then change the icons to one you want. The icon shown will be the one on the sim you set as primary.

You can't remove it. You can only change it to either the icon for SIM1 or SIM2.
