Circle Chevron Left

The circle-chevron-left icon represents contained back navigation and circular previous controls in user interfaces. Featuring a leftward chevron within a circular border, this icon provides a more prominent and clickable indicator for going back and navigating to previous items compared to simple chevron styles.

In modern applications emphasizing button-style navigation or prominent back controls in mobile interfaces, you'll see this icon representing contained back actions and circular previous buttons. It appears in carousel controls when navigating to previous items, or in mobile app headers as prominent back buttons with touch-friendly circular button treatments for improved accessibility.

From a navigation clarity perspective, the circular chevron-left communicates more than just 'go back' - it specifically indicates button-like navigation, touch-optimized back actions, and the contained nature of previous controls. This circular treatment helps establish clear interactive boundaries for backward navigation.

Circle Chevron Left is one of 458 icons in Akar Icons, made by Arturo Wibawa and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 2 stroke.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds CircleChevronLeftIcon to components/icons/akar-icons-circle-chevron-left.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed CircleChevronLeftIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Circle Chevron Left icon, or any of 458 Akar Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.

Circle Chevron Left is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 2. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Circle Chevron Left", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. CircleChevronLeftIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <CircleChevronLeftIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Akar Icons, Arturo Wibawa and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
