Frequently asked questions
What the Primitive Square icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The primitive-square icon represents a basic or primitive shape, specifically a square. Its visual design typically features a stylized representation of a square or a rectangle. This symbol originates from geometry and has been widely adopted in digital interfaces.
In real-world applications, the primitive-square icon is commonly used in software and platforms such as computer-aided design (CAD) software, graphic design tools, and mathematical modeling applications. For example, it appears in CAD software like Autodesk AutoCAD, graphic design tools like Adobe Illustrator, and mathematical modeling applications like Mathematica.
From a UX perspective, the primitive-square icon communicates that a basic or primitive shape is being used or represented. It helps users understand that they can interact with the icon to view more information about shapes or to create new shapes.
Primitive Square is one of 538 icons in Codicons, made by Microsoft Corporation and released under CC BY 4.0. 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 PrimitiveSquareIcon to components/icons/codicon-primitive-square.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 PrimitiveSquareIcon 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 Primitive Square icon, or any of 538 Codicons 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="Primitive Square", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. PrimitiveSquareIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <PrimitiveSquareIcon 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 (Microsoft Corporation) 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 Microsoft Corporation, 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.
