Q

The q icon represents a question or inquiry, often used in contexts like search, help, or support. It originates from the idea of asking a question or seeking information. The q icon is significant in user experience, as it symbolizes the act of inquiry.

In software and digital platforms, the q icon appears in various forms, such as in search bars, help menus, or support systems. It's often used to indicate questioning or seeking information.

From a UX perspective, the q icon communicates inquiry, questioning, or seeking help. When users see this icon, they understand that they can ask questions or seek information. This icon plays a crucial role in facilitating user support and guidance.

Q is one of 348 icons in Ligature Symbols, made by Kazuyuki Motoyama and released under Open Font License. It is drawn on a 562 × 867 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 QIcon to components/icons/ls-q.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 QIcon 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 Q 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 562 × 867 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="Q", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. QIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <QIcon 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.
