What does the Chains icon mean?

The chains icon is a colorful emoji representing a pair of linked chains. It is often used to express restriction, limitation, or connection. The icon is part of the Noto Emoji library, which provides a wide range of emojis for various platforms.

Where is the Chains icon used?

The chains icon can be used in various digital communication platforms, such as social media, messaging apps, or email. It can help convey a sense of constraint or bonding in digital conversations.

What does the Chains icon tell users?

From a UX perspective, the chains icon can be used to provide visual feedback or symbolic cues in digital interfaces. For example, it can be used to indicate a secure connection or a restricted area.

Which library is the Chains icon from?

Chains is one of 3,800 icons in Noto Emoji, made by Google Inc and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 128 × 128 grid.

How do I make the Chains icon accessible?

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="Chains", so screen readers say what it does.

Can I pass aria-hidden or aria-label to the Chains icon?

Yes. ChainsIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Can I download the Chains icon as SVG or PNG?

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.

How do I install the Chains icon with the shadcn CLI?

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds ChainsIcon to components/icons/noto-chains.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

How do I use the Chains icon in Next.js or React?

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed ChainsIcon 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.

How do I use the Chains icon in Vue, Svelte or Angular?

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.

Can my AI agent install the Chains icon for me?

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Chains icon, or any of 3,800 Noto Emoji icons, and install it from a prompt.

Can I use the Chains icon in commercial projects?

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.

Do I have to credit the author of the Chains icon?

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 Noto Emoji, Google Inc and the license.

Is the Chains icon free?

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

Which other libraries have the Chains icon?

2 other libraries draw an icon called Chains. The Other libraries section on this page shows each one, so you can compare them and open the one that fits your style.

What tags does the Chains icon have?

Its tags are emoji, security, google, connection, lock and restriction. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Chains in another set.

Does the Chains icon come in other styles?

Noto Emoji draws many icons in several styles: Light next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Chains's siblings in it.

How do I change the color of the Chains icon?

It's multicolor, so it keeps its own colors.

How do I change the size of the Chains icon?

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 128 × 128 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Does the Chains icon work in dark mode?

Yes. It keeps its own colors in light and dark mode, so check it against both backgrounds. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.
