FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What the Asciitilde icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The asciitilde icon represents the tilde symbol, a punctuation mark used in various contexts, including computing, mathematics, and linguistics. It is often used to indicate a user's home directory in Unix-like operating systems. The tilde symbol has its origins in medieval manuscripts, where it was used as a shorthand for the Latin word 'titulus,' meaning 'title' or 'heading.' In modern computing, the tilde is commonly used in programming languages, such as C and JavaScript.
In software applications, the asciitilde icon appears in text editors, such as Emacs and Vim, where it is used to represent the home directory or to invoke specific commands. It is also used in programming languages, like JavaScript, where it is used as a bitwise NOT operator or to represent a user's home directory in Node.js.
From a UX perspective, the asciitilde icon communicates a sense of abbreviation or shorthand, often indicating a shortcut or a command that can be used to perform a specific action. In text editors, it may be used to represent a user's home directory or to invoke a specific command, helping users to navigate and interact with the application more efficiently.
Asciitilde is one of 348 icons in Ligature Symbols, made by Kazuyuki Motoyama and released under Open Font License. It is drawn on a 508 × 614 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 AsciitildeIcon to components/icons/ls-asciitilde.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 AsciitildeIcon 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 Asciitilde icon, or any of 348 Ligature Symbols 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 508 × 614 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="Asciitilde", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. AsciitildeIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <AsciitildeIcon 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. The Open Font License allows commercial use; the icons can't be sold on their own. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.
No visible credit is required: Open Font License 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 Ligature Symbols, Kazuyuki Motoyama and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
Its tags are symbol, editing, typography, text, markup and punctuation. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Asciitilde in another set.
