Caret Up Circle Sharp

The caret-up-circle-sharp icon represents a sharp, circular arrow pointing upwards, indicating movement or progression to a previous step or upward direction within a circular context. This icon is commonly used in user interfaces to signify going back or moving up in a hierarchy with a bold, rounded visual cue. It originates from the need to visually represent navigation in digital and software applications with a focus on clear, sharp circular designs.

In software and digital applications, the caret-up-circle-sharp icon is often used in navigation controls, such as in carousels, sliders, or step-by-step processes where a bold circular navigation element is present. For instance, in media players, this icon can be used to navigate to the previous media file in a circular playlist with a more assertive design. Similarly, in web and mobile applications, it is used to indicate moving up a level in a hierarchical structure with a bold circular visual representation.

From a UX perspective, the caret-up-circle-sharp icon effectively communicates the idea of moving up or backward within a circular context with a strong visual emphasis. It helps users understand that they can navigate to a previous step or a higher level in a hierarchy, guiding them through the interface with a clear and defined action. Its sharp, circular shape with an upward-pointing arrow clearly conveys the action of moving up.

Caret Up Circle Sharp is one of 2,361 icons in IonIcons, made by Ben Sperry and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 512 × 512 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 CaretUpCircleSharpIcon to components/icons/ion-caret-up-circle-sharp.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 CaretUpCircleSharpIcon 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 Caret Up Circle Sharp icon, or any of 2,361 IonIcons 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 512 × 512 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="Caret Up Circle Sharp", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. CaretUpCircleSharpIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <CaretUpCircleSharpIcon 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 IonIcons, Ben Sperry and the license.

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