C

The C icon represents the C programming language, a general-purpose, imperative language that has been widely used for developing operating systems, games, and other high-performance applications. As a fundamental language, C plays a crucial role in computer science and software development, providing a foundation for many other languages.

In real-world applications, the C icon appears in development environments, such as code editors and IDEs, where developers use C to build and test software applications. C is also used in systems programming, game development, and high-performance computing, where its efficiency and portability make it an attractive choice.

From a UX perspective, the C icon communicates a sense of foundation and reliability, conveying to users that their applications are built on a robust and well-established language. The icon helps users understand that their applications are efficient, scalable, and maintainable.

C is one of 659 icons in Devicon Original, made by konpa and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 128 × 128 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 CIcon to components/icons/devicon-original-c.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 CIcon 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 C icon, or any of 659 Devicon Original icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's multicolor, so it keeps its own colors.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 128 × 128 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It keeps its own colors in light and dark mode, so check it against both backgrounds. 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="C", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. CIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <CIcon 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 Devicon Original, konpa and the license.

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

8 other libraries draw an icon called C. The Other libraries section on this page shows each one, so you can compare them and open the one that fits your style.

Its tags are development, software, programming, computer and language. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for C in another set.
