Frequently asked questions
What the Breaking News icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The breaking-news icon represents a news update or alert that requires immediate attention. It is often used to indicate a sudden or unexpected event that is happening or has happened. The icon is used to grab the user's attention and inform them of a developing story.
In real-world applications, this icon can be found in news websites, social media platforms, or mobile apps that provide news updates. For example, a news website might use this icon to indicate a breaking news story or a social media platform might use it to alert users of a developing event.
From a UX perspective, the breaking-news icon communicates a sense of urgency and importance. It helps users quickly understand that something significant is happening and that they should pay attention.
Breaking News is one of 15,862 icons in Material Symbols, made by Google and released under Apache 2.0. 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 BreakingNewsIcon to components/icons/material-symbols-breaking-news.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 BreakingNewsIcon 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 Breaking News icon, or any of 15,862 Material 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 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="Breaking News", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. BreakingNewsIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <BreakingNewsIcon 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 Material Symbols, Google and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
