Asterisk Octagon

The asterisk-octagon icon represents an octagonal symbol with an asterisk, commonly used in user interfaces to indicate a special feature or setting. This icon is often used in software applications to highlight important information or actions. The asterisk symbol has its roots in typography and is used to indicate a footnote or a reference. In the context of UI design, the asterisk-octagon icon serves as a visual cue to draw attention to a specific element or function.

In software applications, the asterisk-octagon icon is often used in conjunction with other UI elements, such as buttons, menus, or notifications. For example, in a text editor, an asterisk-octagon icon might be used to indicate a special formatting option or to highlight a specific section of text. In a web application, the icon might be used to indicate a required field or to provide additional information about a particular feature.

From a UX perspective, the asterisk-octagon icon communicates importance and attention-grabbing information. When used effectively, the icon helps users quickly identify and understand the functionality of a particular element or feature. The icon's octagonal shape and bold lines make it easily recognizable, even at small sizes.

Asterisk Octagon is one of 2,562 icons in Myna UI Icons, made by Praveen Juge and released under MIT. 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 AsteriskOctagonIcon to components/icons/mynaui-asterisk-octagon.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 AsteriskOctagonIcon 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 Asterisk Octagon icon, or any of 2,562 Myna UI 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.

Asterisk Octagon 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="Asterisk Octagon", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. AsteriskOctagonIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <AsteriskOctagonIcon 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. MIT 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: MIT 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 Myna UI Icons, Praveen Juge and the license.

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

Its tags are UI, interface, design, development, web and application. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Asterisk Octagon in another set.
