Icing sugar is extra fine pulverized sugar which requires powerful grinders designed for such purpose. IIRC the fine quality icing sugar is around 10 to 20 microns which can be used directly mixing with fat ,flavor and color for smoother shiny icings in cakes..
Its difficult to get that extra fine particle size with home equipment..
Coarser grades around 70 micros might be attainable with repeated pass through a coffee grinder
