Is it possible to only show half of a SVG icon?

I currently have a rating system that produces 5 stars that can show half values. I did this by using FontAwesome's Half Stars and did some CSS tricks to make them look like one star. But I was thinking of increasing my React and CSS knowledge by coming up with a way to show only half of an SVG icon. So instead of using the Half Stars, I could use whatever Icon the user wanted, and it would only show 50% of the Icon for example if you wanted to give a 3.5 rating.

Q: Can you show only half of an Icon and somehow know if the user is clicking on one side or the other?

Here is the code I have currently that uses the HalfStars for a little bit of reference

import React, { useState } from 'react'
import { FaRegStarHalf, FaStarHalf } from 'react-icons/fa'

import './styles/Rater.css'

const Rater = ({ iconCount }) => {
    const [rating, setRating] = useState(null)
    const [hover, setHover] = useState(null)
    // check if user has set a rating by clicking a star and use rating to determine icons
    const Star = rating ? FaStarHalf : FaRegStarHalf

    return (
        <div>
            {[...Array(iconCount), ...Array(iconCount)].map((icon, i) => {
                const value = (i + 1) / 2

                return (
                    <label>
                        <input
                            type='radio'
                            name='rating'
                            value={value}
                            onClick={() => {
                                console.log(`value => `, value)
                                return setRating(value)
                            }}
                        />
                        <div className='star-container'>
                            <div>
                                <Star
                                    className={i % 2 ? 'star-left' : 'star'}
                                    color={value <= (hover || rating) ? '#ffc107' : '#e4e5e9'}
                                    onMouseEnter={() => setHover(value)}
                                    onMouseLeave={() => setHover(null)}
                                />
                            </div>
                        </div>
                    </label>
                )
            })}
        </div>
    )
}

export default Rater
