Left Squared

The left-squared icon represents a sharp-angled arrow pointing to the left, commonly used for navigation and indicating a move to the previous or back direction. This icon is significant in user interfaces as it provides a clear visual cue for users to navigate through content, menus, or pages. The squared shape of the arrow gives it a sharp, more defined appearance compared to rounded arrows.

In software and digital platforms, the left-squared icon is frequently used in applications where a more assertive or formal design language is employed. For instance, some file explorers and text editors use this icon to represent the 'back' or 'undo' actions. Its sharp angles can make it stand out in interfaces where a bold aesthetic is preferred.

From a UX perspective, the left-squared icon effectively communicates the action of moving backwards or to the previous step. Its sharp angles can make it more noticeable than rounded icons, potentially drawing more attention to the navigation option. The icon's simplicity and consistency across different platforms contribute to a seamless user experience.

Left Squared is one of 234 icons in Icons8 Windows 10 Icons, made by Icons8 and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 32 × 32 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 LeftSquaredIcon to components/icons/icons8-left-squared.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 LeftSquaredIcon 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 Left Squared icon, or any of 234 Icons8 Windows 10 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 32 × 32 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="Left Squared", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. LeftSquaredIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <LeftSquaredIcon 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 Icons8 Windows 10 Icons, Icons8 and the license.

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

Its tags are UI, UX, navigation, action, direction and arrow. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Left Squared in another set.
