Media Skip Backward

The media-skip-backward icon represents skip-to-previous functions, track skipping, and backward navigation in media playback applications. Featuring backward-pointing triangles or skip symbols, this icon indicates skipping to previous tracks, jumping backward, playlist navigation, and previous item selection across platforms where media navigation is supported.

In modern applications like music players or podcast apps, you'll see this icon skipping to previous tracks and navigating backward through playlists. It appears in media controls when returning to earlier content, or in audiobook players when jumping to previous chapters for content review.

From a media navigation perspective, the skip-backward symbol communicates more than just 'previous' - it specifically indicates discrete jumps to earlier content, the navigation that moves between items rather than within items, and the playlist control that accesses prior tracks. This backward triangle metaphor indicates directional navigation.

Media Skip Backward 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 MediaSkipBackwardIcon to components/icons/oi-media-skip-backward.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 MediaSkipBackwardIcon 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 Media Skip Backward 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="Media Skip Backward", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. MediaSkipBackwardIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <MediaSkipBackwardIcon 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.
