Pound Symbol

The pound symbol icon represents the symbol for the pound sterling, a unit of currency used in the United Kingdom. Originating from the Emoji One library, this icon is often used to symbolize currency, money, or financial transactions. The pound symbol icon can represent a financial transaction, a currency exchange, or an economic concept.

In real-world applications, the pound symbol icon appears in software and platforms related to finance, economy, or currency exchange. For example, it might be used on financial websites, banking platforms, or e-commerce sites. Additionally, it can be found in digital media, such as financial news articles, economic reports, or currency-related designs.

From a UX perspective, the pound symbol icon communicates currency, money, and financial transactions. It helps users quickly identify and engage with content related to finance, economy, or currency exchange. The icon's presence can also convey a sense of value or financial stability.

Pound Symbol 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 PoundSymbolIcon to components/icons/emojione-monotone-pound-symbol.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 PoundSymbolIcon 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 Pound Symbol 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="Pound Symbol", so screen readers say what it does.

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