Hovering over that icon will show its unit make-up. You can also see the group, its number, and how many units are assigned to it by looking at the icon on the middle-left side of the screen. Now these units are in a single grouping, and you will see a small number above each unit, designating their cluster. You can do this with the numbers across the top of your keyboard or with the Numpad hotkeys. Once you've done so, hold CTRL or SHIFT and press any number 1-9. To create a control group, select the units you wish to cluster together. You can have groups of cavalry run-down footsoldiers, for example, or have longbowmen rain arrows from above with two quick clicks. Grouping comes in handy during combat, especially when you want specific unit types attacking from the high ground or flanking vulnerable portions of an enemy army.
