C

The C icon represents the C programming language, a general-purpose language that provides low-level access to computer hardware. C is a fundamental language in computer science, widely used in operating systems, embedded systems, and software development.

C is used in various applications, including operating systems, device drivers, and embedded systems. Its icons are often used in programming tools, such as code editors and IDEs, to indicate the use of C.

From a UX perspective, the C icon communicates a sense of programming and computer science, conveying that the application or website is related to software development. The icon's design helps users understand the functionality and navigate interfaces with ease.

C is one of 772 icons in Devicon Plain, 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-plain-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 772 Devicon Plain 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 128 × 128 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="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 Plain, 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, science, 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.
