Arrow Left

The arrow-left icon represents a directional symbol used to indicate movement or action in a leftward direction. It is commonly used in user interfaces to signify navigation, back actions, or previous steps. The icon is part of the Innowatio Font library, categorized under Archive/Unmaintained.

In software and platforms, the arrow-left icon appears in various applications, such as back buttons in mobile apps, navigation menus in web browsers, and previous actions in data editing. Its widespread use makes it a recognizable symbol for users.

From a UX perspective, the arrow-left icon communicates the idea of going back or returning to a previous state. It helps users understand the functionality of a button or link, guiding them through an interface.

Arrow Left is one of 105 icons in Innowatio Font, made by Innowatio and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 40 × 40 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 ArrowLeftIcon to components/icons/iwwa-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 ArrowLeftIcon 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 Arrow Left icon, or any of 105 Innowatio Font 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 40 × 40 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="Arrow Left", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. ArrowLeftIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ArrowLeftIcon 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 Innowatio Font, Innowatio and the license.

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