Caret Left Circle

The caret-left-circle icon features a circular shape with a left-facing caret, indicating a move to the previous item or a backward navigation action. This symbol is commonly used in digital interfaces to denote a 'previous' or 'back' action.

The caret-left-circle icon is often used in software and platforms such as music players, image galleries, and file browsers, where navigation to the previous item is necessary. It is also seen in web development frameworks and libraries, where it is used to indicate a previous or back action.

From a UX perspective, the caret-left-circle icon communicates that there is a previous item or action available. This helps users understand that they can navigate backward and access previous content. It also aids in navigation by providing a clear visual cue for interactive elements.

Caret Left Circle 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 CaretLeftCircleIcon to components/icons/bxs-caret-left-circle.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 CaretLeftCircleIcon 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 Caret Left Circle 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="Caret Left Circle", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. CaretLeftCircleIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <CaretLeftCircleIcon 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.
