FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What the Less Than icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The less-than icon represents a mathematical symbol used to compare two values, indicating that one value is smaller than another. It is a fundamental concept in mathematics and logic, used to establish relationships between numbers. The less-than symbol is widely recognized and used in various mathematical operations.
The less-than icon is commonly used in educational software and platforms, such as math learning apps like Khan Academy, Desmos, and Mathway. It can also be found in programming languages and coding tools like Python, Java, and Visual Studio Code.
From a UX perspective, the less-than icon communicates comparison and relationship between values. It helps users understand that one value is smaller than another, and can be used to represent a 'previous' or 'back' action.
Less Than is one of 4,585 icons in Huge Icons, made by Hugeicons and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 1.5 stroke.
Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds LessThanIcon to components/icons/hugeicons-less-than.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 LessThanIcon 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 Less Than icon, or any of 4,585 Huge 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 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.
Less Than is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 1.5. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.
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="Less Than", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. LessThanIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <LessThanIcon 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 Huge Icons, Hugeicons and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
