Balance Scale

The balance scale icon represents a device used to measure weight or to represent fairness and justice. The icon is part of the Emoji One Monotone library, which provides a set of monotone emojis for use in digital communication. The balance scale icon can be used to represent law, justice, or fairness.

In real-world applications, this icon is often used in law-related software and platforms. For example, it may be used in a law firm website to represent justice or in a court app to represent a fair trial.

From a UX perspective, the balance scale icon communicates a sense of fairness and impartiality. It can help users understand that they are viewing information related to law or justice.

Balance Scale is one of 1,403 icons in Emoji One (Monotone), made by Emoji One and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 64 × 64 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 BalanceScaleIcon to components/icons/emojione-monotone-balance-scale.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 BalanceScaleIcon 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 Balance Scale icon, or any of 1,403 Emoji One (Monotone) 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 64 × 64 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="Balance Scale", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. BalanceScaleIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <BalanceScaleIcon 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.
