Ankh

The ankh icon represents the ancient Egyptian symbol of life, often used in contexts related to mythology, fantasy, or game-related themes. The ankh is a powerful symbol in Egyptian culture, signifying eternal life and vitality. This icon may appear in games or software related to ancient civilizations, fantasy worlds, or mystical experiences.

In real-world applications, the ankh icon appears in various contexts, such as logo designs for companies related to Egyptian history or mysticism. For instance, in a game like Assassin's Creed, the ankh icon might represent an ancient artifact or a powerful relic. Similarly, in a fantasy role-playing game, the icon might signify a magical item or ability.

From a UX perspective, the ankh icon effectively communicates the concept of life, vitality, or power, allowing users to quickly understand its significance in the game or interface. The icon's distinctive design makes it easily recognizable, even at small sizes, and its use can help to create a consistent visual language throughout the game or application.

Ankh is one of 4,123 icons in Game Icons, made by GameIcons and released under CC BY 3.0. 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 AnkhIcon to components/icons/game-icons-ankh.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 AnkhIcon 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 Ankh icon, or any of 4,123 Game Icons 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 512 × 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="Ankh", so screen readers say what it does.

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