Chevron Square Left

The chevron-square-left icon represents a left-pointing chevron or arrow within a square, commonly used for navigation. It originates from the need to indicate direction and movement. In various contexts, it signifies going left, moving to the previous section, or navigating back.

In software and digital design, the chevron-square-left icon appears in navigation menus, toolbars, and interfaces where users need to move between sections or views. For example, in Figma, Notion, or other productivity tools, this icon is used to navigate to the previous page or section.

From a UX perspective, the chevron-square-left icon communicates a clear direction and action to users. It helps users understand that they can move to the previous section or view by interacting with the icon. This icon is often used in conjunction with other navigation elements to provide a seamless user experience.

Chevron Square Left is one of 940 icons in Jam Icons, made by Michael Amprimo and released under MIT. 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 ChevronSquareLeftIcon to components/icons/jam-chevron-square-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 ChevronSquareLeftIcon 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 Chevron Square Left icon, or any of 940 Jam 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="Chevron Square Left", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. ChevronSquareLeftIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ChevronSquareLeftIcon 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 Jam Icons, Michael Amprimo and the license.

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

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