Not quite sure what you mean with "not replacing the existing ones", a unit can only have one unit-card which is tied to that unit.
Anyway, I'm not a hundred percent sure how to do this, but I think you do it this way.
Enter units_tables and locate your unit. When you've done that, scroll to the right until you find the model name of that unit, like "new_unit_infantry". I believe the column next to that one contains the icons, as the other units all have entries ending with _icon in those rows. So just put your new icon in the "data\UI\units\icons" folder (save it as .tga), and enter the name of the icon in your unit's row.

Re: I have created a new unit how do i add a new icon?
Idid exactly what you said but the game didnt read my icon, there are two chances here, 1rstly my icon couldnt be read by the game(different format) althought i made some tests and i am almost sure thats not the case, and secondly i will have to make a mask icon witch i cant.
I think there might be a path inside some document file that tells the game were to put the icons
Re: I have created a new unit how do i add a new icon?
I have found the info you want, it's located in the units db file, there's one entrie with clear statements about this like:Euro_Carabiniers_icon_cavc that refers to the tga files.

Τhanks thib , i know this part ,but when i put my own icon the game doesnt read it, i think there is somewhere else a file that tells to the game from were to draw the icon
Re: I have created a new unit how do i add a new icon?
I'm positive that it works, I've done it right now.
It's the second unknow column with this sort of informations, I suspect the others to control the details when right clicking a unit.
And don't foget to put the icons in your mod.
Re: I have created a new unit how do i add a new icon?
