Journal Text

The journal-text icon represents a notebook or journal with plain text. It visually depicts a notebook with a pen or pencil, symbolizing writing and note-taking. This symbol originates from the concept of recording thoughts and ideas.

In real-world applications, this icon appears in note-taking apps like Google Keep or Apple Notes, where users can jot down quick notes and ideas. It is also used in writing apps like Ulysses or Byword, where writers can focus on writing plain text without distractions.

From a UX perspective, the journal-text icon communicates the ability to quickly capture thoughts and notes. It helps users understand that they can efficiently record their ideas and focus on writing.

Journal Text is one of 2,084 icons in Bootstrap Icons, made by The Bootstrap Authors and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 16 × 16 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds JournalTextIcon to components/icons/bi-journal-text.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 JournalTextIcon 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 Journal Text icon, or any of 2,084 Bootstrap 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 16 × 16 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

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="Journal Text", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. JournalTextIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <JournalTextIcon 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 Bootstrap Icons, The Bootstrap Authors and the license.

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

Its tags are document, text, writing, editor and notebook. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Journal Text in another set.

Bootstrap Icons draws many icons in several styles: Fill next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Journal Text's siblings in it.
