Northeastarrow

The northeastarrow icon represents a directional arrow pointing northeast. It is commonly used to indicate movement or direction in digital interfaces, maps, and navigation systems.

In real-world applications, this icon appears in various software and platforms such as Google Maps, Waze, and other navigation apps. It helps users understand the direction they need to move to reach their destination.

From a UX perspective, the northeastarrow icon communicates the idea of movement and direction. It helps users navigate through interfaces and understand the functionality of different elements.

Northeastarrow is one of 1,034 icons in Firefox OS Emoji, made by Mozilla and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 512 × 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 NortheastarrowIcon to components/icons/fxemoji-northeastarrow.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 NortheastarrowIcon 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 Northeastarrow icon, or any of 1,034 Firefox OS Emoji 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 512 × 512 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="Northeastarrow", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. NortheastarrowIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <NortheastarrowIcon 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. Apache 2.0 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: Apache 2.0 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 Firefox OS Emoji, Mozilla and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are navigation, direction, map, arrow, transport and indication. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Northeastarrow in another set.
