Code

The code icon represents programming or coding, often used to indicate development or software engineering. The icon can represent various programming languages, such as Python, Java, or JavaScript. The concept of coding originated in the early days of computer science and has since become a fundamental skill in the tech industry.

The code icon appears in various software and platforms, including integrated development environments (IDEs), code editors, and version control systems. It is also commonly used in diagrams and illustrations to represent coding and development.

From a UX perspective, the code icon communicates the idea of technical expertise and problem-solving. It helps users understand that coding is a skill that requires attention to detail and analytical thinking.

Code is one of 283 icons in Humbleicons, made by Jiří Zralý and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 2 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 CodeIcon to components/icons/humbleicons-code.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 CodeIcon 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 Code icon, or any of 283 Humbleicons 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.

Code is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 2. 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="Code", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. CodeIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <CodeIcon 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 Humbleicons, Jiří Zralý and the license.

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

8 other libraries draw an icon called Code. The Other libraries section on this page shows each one, so you can compare them and open the one that fits your style.

Its tags are development, software, programming, tech and coding. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Code in another set.
