Sharp Subdirectory Arrow Left

The sharp-subdirectory-arrow-left icon represents a navigation element, specifically an arrow pointing left within a subdirectory or folder path. It originates from the Google Material Icons library, focusing on UI and UX. This icon signifies a way to navigate through directories or folders. Its significance lies in facilitating navigation within a file system or directory structure.

In real-world applications, the sharp-subdirectory-arrow-left icon appears in file explorers, IDEs, and any software that deals with directory navigation. For instance, a file explorer might use this icon to indicate a way to move up a directory level or an IDE might use it to represent a navigation action within a project structure.

From a UX perspective, the sharp-subdirectory-arrow-left icon clearly communicates a navigation action, helping users understand how to move through directory structures efficiently. This clarity enhances the overall user experience by reducing confusion when navigating complex file systems.

Sharp Subdirectory Arrow Left is one of 10,956 icons in Google Material Icons, made by Material Design Authors and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 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 SharpSubdirectoryArrowLeftIcon to components/icons/ic-sharp-subdirectory-arrow-left.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 SharpSubdirectoryArrowLeftIcon 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 Sharp Subdirectory Arrow Left icon, or any of 10,956 Google Material 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.

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="Sharp Subdirectory Arrow Left", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. SharpSubdirectoryArrowLeftIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <SharpSubdirectoryArrowLeftIcon 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 Google Material Icons, Material Design Authors and the license.

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

Its tags are navigation, file, arrow, folder, directory and path. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Sharp Subdirectory Arrow Left in another set.
