After upgrading Angular from v.11 to v.12 I am getting the following Error
home.Component.ts
imgname= require("../assets/images/imgname.png");
./src/assets/images/imgname.png:1:0
- Error: Module parse failed: Unexpected character '�' (1:0)

Unfortunately I cannot answer but may have some more information. I seem to be having a similar issue though on upgrading to Angular v12. I believe in my case it relates to executing the following in my Angular.json. In my case the lines are trying to copy assets for the use of Leaflet within angular and its is no longer able to copy the .png assets.
Thanks
