Shape Except

The shape-except icon represents an exception or exclusion in a shape or set of rules. The visual design features a simple shape with a exclusion or exception symbol, symbolizing deviation from a norm. This concept originates from logic and rule-based systems.

In software development and IT, similar icons are used in platforms like Drools, OpenL Tablets, and JESS to represent exception handling and business rules. These icons help users understand and navigate complex logic and rules.

From a UX perspective, the shape-except icon communicates the concept of exceptions and exclusions. It helps users understand the process of handling errors and deviations from expected behavior.

Shape Except is one of 2,547 icons in Carbon, made by IBM and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 32 × 32 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 ShapeExceptIcon to components/icons/carbon-shape-except.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 ShapeExceptIcon 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 Shape Except icon, or any of 2,547 Carbon 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 32 × 32 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="Shape Except", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. ShapeExceptIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ShapeExceptIcon 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. Apache 2.0 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: Apache 2.0 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 Carbon, IBM and the license.

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

Its tags are shape, rule and exception. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Shape Except in another set.

Carbon draws many icons in several styles: Filled next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Shape Except's siblings in it.
