Superscript Line

The superscript-line icon represents a superscript text, symbolizing a notation or a reference. This visual design is commonly used to indicate a footnote or an annotation. The origins of this symbol can be traced back to typography and academic writing, where superscripts were used to denote references or citations.

In real-world applications, this icon is widely used in software and platforms such as word processors, academic writing tools, and e-book readers to indicate a footnote or an annotation. For instance, when a user adds a reference to a document, a superscript icon is often displayed to denote the reference.

From a UX perspective, the superscript-line icon communicates a sense of additional information or context. It helps users understand that there is more information available related to the text and provides a clear way to access it.

Superscript Line is one of 1,105 icons in Clarity, made by VMware and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 36 × 36 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 SuperscriptLineIcon to components/icons/clarity-superscript-line.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 SuperscriptLineIcon 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 Superscript Line icon, or any of 1,105 Clarity 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 36 × 36 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="Superscript Line", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. SuperscriptLineIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <SuperscriptLineIcon 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 Clarity, VMware and the license.

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