Square Root Box

The square-root-box icon represents a combination of a square root symbol and a box, commonly used in mathematical calculations and formulas. It originated from the Material Design Icons library, which provides a wide range of icons for various applications. This icon is significant in its domain as it provides a simple and recognizable visual element for mathematical expressions.

In real-world applications, the square-root-box icon appears in software such as engineering and scientific tools like MATLAB, Mathematica, and other technical computing environments, where it is used to represent mathematical calculations and formulas. It is also used in platforms like GitHub, GitLab, and other version control systems, where it serves as a visual element to illustrate mathematical concepts.

From a UX perspective, this icon communicates a sense of technical precision and accuracy, helping users understand complex mathematical concepts. It can be used to represent a mathematical operation or function, making it clear to users that a calculation is being performed.

Square Root Box is one of 7,638 icons in Material Design Icons, made by Pictogrammers 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 SquareRootBoxIcon to components/icons/mdi-square-root-box.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 SquareRootBoxIcon 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 Square Root Box icon, or any of 7,638 Material Design 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.

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="Square Root Box", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. SquareRootBoxIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <SquareRootBoxIcon 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 Design Icons, Pictogrammers and the license.

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

Its tags are symbol, engineering, math, calculation, technical and formula. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Square Root Box in another set.

Material Design Icons draws many icons in several styles: Outline next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Square Root Box's siblings in it.
