Buoy

The buoy icon represents a symbol for markers or indicators, often used in navigation or maritime applications to convey the presence of a signal or warning. The symbol typically features a floating device or a buoy shape. This symbol originates from the world of maritime navigation, where buoys are used to mark channels or hazards.

In software and digital platforms, the buoy icon is commonly used in applications like navigation systems or maritime software, where users can view or interact with buoy markers. Similarly, in weather or oceanography software, users can use the buoy icon to display or analyze data.

From a UX perspective, the buoy icon effectively communicates the presence of a signal or warning, allowing users to navigate interfaces with ease. By providing a clear and recognizable symbol, designers can help users understand complex information.

Buoy is one of 665 icons in BoxIcons Solid, made by Atisa and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 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 BuoyIcon to components/icons/bxs-buoy.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 BuoyIcon 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 Buoy icon, or any of 665 BoxIcons Solid 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.

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="Buoy", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. BuoyIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <BuoyIcon 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, with credit: CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author (Atisa) where you use the icons. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Yes. CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author where you use the icons, for example "Icons by Atisa, CC BY 4.0" on an about or credits page.

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