Text Selection

The text-selection icon represents a typography control used to select and highlight text. It is commonly used in word processing and text editing applications. The icon is often used to indicate the ability to modify text selection.

In software applications, the text-selection icon appears in text editing tools such as Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and Notion. It allows users to select and highlight text, making it easier to format and organize information.

From a UX perspective, the text-selection icon communicates the ability to modify text selection and formatting. It helps users understand how to select and highlight text, making it easier to read and understand the text.

Text Selection 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 TextSelectionIcon to components/icons/hugeicons-text-selection.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 TextSelectionIcon 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 Text Selection 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.

Text Selection 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="Text Selection", so screen readers say what it does.

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