Wikipedia

The wikipedia icon represents the Wikipedia encyclopedia and knowledge resource functionality in reference applications. Featuring the distinctive Wikipedia logo with puzzle globe, this instantly recognizable icon has become synonymous with Wikipedia, online encyclopedias, and collaborative knowledge resources across reference and education platforms.

In modern applications like research tools or citation managers, you'll see this icon linking to Wikipedia articles and encyclopedia resources. It appears in reference sections when accessing Wikipedia, or in applications like educational platforms when users need to access encyclopedia content and Wikipedia knowledge.

From a knowledge perspective, the Wikipedia logo communicates more than just 'reference' - it specifically indicates the free encyclopedia, collaborative knowledge creation, and the comprehensive online reference resource. This brand recognition helps users identify Wikipedia-sourced information and encyclopedia access.

Wikipedia is one of 329 icons in Flat Color Icons, made by Icons8 and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 48 × 48 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 WikipediaIcon to components/icons/flat-color-icons-wikipedia.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 WikipediaIcon 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 Wikipedia icon, or any of 329 Flat Color Icons 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 48 × 48 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="Wikipedia", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. WikipediaIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <WikipediaIcon 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 Flat Color Icons, Icons8 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 Wikipedia. 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 online, information, research, knowledge, reference and wiki. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Wikipedia in another set.
