Skull And Crossbones

The skull-and-crossbones icon represents a human skull with crossbones, often used to symbolize death, danger, or warning. The icon is widely recognized as a symbol for biohazard, poison, or toxic substances. The skull-and-crossbones icon is often used to represent risk, hazard, or caution.

In real-world applications, the skull-and-crossbones icon appears in software and platforms related to health, safety, and warning labels. For example, a chemical company website might use the icon to indicate toxic substances or hazardous materials.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed SkullAndCrossbonesIcon 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.

It's multicolor, so it keeps its own colors.
