File Code

The file-code icon represents a file with a code symbol, often used to indicate a file or document that contains code or programming instructions. This icon is part of the Font Awesome 6 Solid library and is categorized under Archive/Unmaintained. The file-code icon is commonly used in software applications to denote files or documents that contain code snippets or programming logic.

In real-world applications, the file-code icon appears in various software and platforms, such as integrated development environments (IDEs), code editors, and version control systems. For instance, in an IDE, this icon might be used to represent files or documents that contain source code.

From a UX perspective, the file-code icon effectively communicates that a file or document contains code or programming instructions. This helps users quickly identify which files require coding knowledge or attention.

File Code is one of 1,407 icons in Font Awesome 6 Solid, made by Dave Gandy and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 384 × 512 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 FileCodeIcon to components/icons/fa6-solid-file-code.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 FileCodeIcon 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 File Code icon, or any of 1,407 Font Awesome 6 Solid 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 384 × 512 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="File Code", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. FileCodeIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <FileCodeIcon 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 (Dave Gandy) 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 Dave Gandy, 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.
