Chevron Left Square

The chevron-left-square icon represents a left-pointing chevron or arrow within a square, indicating a backward or previous direction. It is commonly used in user interface (UI) design to signify that a user can navigate to a previous page or section. The square adds a sense of stability and structure to the chevron symbol.

In software and digital tools, the chevron-left-square icon can be found in applications like back buttons, navigation menus, or pagination controls. It is used in web browsers to indicate that a user can go back to a previous page. In mobile apps, the chevron-left-square icon is often used to indicate that a user can navigate to a previous screen or section.

From a UX perspective, the chevron-left-square icon communicates a sense of reversal and return. It helps users understand that they can interact with an element to go back or return to a previous state, which can be reassuring and intuitive. The icon can also serve as a visual cue to help users understand the structure and organization of content.

Chevron Left Square is one of 1,042 icons in Mage Icons, made by MageIcons and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 1.5 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 ChevronLeftSquareIcon to components/icons/mage-chevron-left-square.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 ChevronLeftSquareIcon 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 Left Square icon, or any of 1,042 Mage 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, and its stroke.

Chevron Left Square is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 1.5. 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="Chevron Left Square", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. ChevronLeftSquareIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ChevronLeftSquareIcon 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 Mage Icons, MageIcons and the license.

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