Message Square Quote

The message-square-quote icon represents message quoting and citation functionality in conversation threads, combining quotation marks with a speech bubble to indicate referenced content and reply context. This symbol has become fundamental for maintaining conversation flow, attributing sources, and creating threaded discussions in modern communication platforms.

Users frequently encounter this icon in professional communication tools like Slack when quoting previous messages in channel discussions, or in collaborative platforms such as Microsoft Teams for referencing specific content in team conversations. Email applications including Outlook utilize similar iconography for reply quotations, while social media platforms like Twitter employ this symbol for quote tweets and referenced responses.

From a conversation design perspective, this symbol's significance extends beyond simple repetition - it specifically facilitates context preservation, enables non-linear discussion patterns, and helps users maintain coherent conversation threads even in complex, multi-participant discussions. This distinction helps users understand the relationship between messages and maintain conversational clarity.

Message Square Quote is one of 1,655 icons in Lucide, made by Lucide Contributors and released under ISC. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 2 stroke.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds MessageSquareQuoteIcon to components/icons/lucide-message-square-quote.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 MessageSquareQuoteIcon 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.

Yes, if your project has lucide-react: Message Square Quote is `MessageSquareQuoteIcon` there, used as <MessageSquareQuoteIcon />. The shadcn.io MCP server answers with that import when it finds the package. Without it, copy the icon from here.

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 Message Square Quote icon, or any of 1,655 Lucide 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, and its stroke.

Message Square Quote is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 2. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.

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="Message Square Quote", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. MessageSquareQuoteIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <MessageSquareQuoteIcon 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. ISC 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: ISC 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 Lucide, Lucide Contributors and the license.

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

Its tags are reference, quote, citation, reply, context and attribution. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Message Square Quote in another set.
