Arrow Thick Left

This icon indicates emphasized leftward navigation and prominent back actions with bold visual weight. Featuring a thick, heavy left-pointing arrow, this symbol demands attention for critical back navigation, return functions, and primary backward movement through its substantial stroke width and commanding presence.

In modern applications like mobile app headers or web application navigation bars, you'll see this icon providing visually prominent back navigation that users can easily spot and access. It appears in video players like YouTube when returning to content lists, or in settings interfaces when exiting configuration screens and returning to main menus without losing context.

From a navigation hierarchy perspective, the thick arrow communicates more than just 'go back' - it specifically indicates primary navigation importance, the critical nature of the return action, and the need for this control to stand out in minimal interfaces. This bold styling ensures users always have a clear escape path from deep navigation states.

Arrow Thick Left is one of 223 icons in Open Iconic, made by Iconic and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 8 × 8 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 ArrowThickLeftIcon to components/icons/oi-arrow-thick-left.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 ArrowThickLeftIcon 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 Arrow Thick Left icon, or any of 223 Open Iconic 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 8 × 8 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="Arrow Thick Left", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. ArrowThickLeftIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ArrowThickLeftIcon 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 Open Iconic, Iconic and the license.

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