Frequently asked questions
What the Back Arrow icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The back-arrow icon represents a navigation element used to indicate a previous or back action. It is commonly used in digital interfaces, such as websites, apps, and software, to help users navigate through different screens or sections.
In real-world applications, the back-arrow icon can be used in web browsers, mobile apps, and desktop software to provide a clear and consistent navigation element. For example, a web browser might use this icon to allow users to navigate back to a previous webpage.
From a UX perspective, the back-arrow icon communicates the idea of going back or returning to a previous state, providing users with a clear visual cue to navigate through an interface.
Back Arrow is one of 4,481 icons in OpenMoji, made by OpenMoji and released under CC BY-SA 4.0. It is drawn on a 72 × 72 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 BackArrowIcon to components/icons/openmoji-back-arrow.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 BackArrowIcon 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 Back Arrow icon, or any of 4,481 OpenMoji icons, and install it from a prompt.
It's multicolor, so it keeps its own colors.
Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 72 × 72 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.
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.
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="Back Arrow", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. BackArrowIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <BackArrowIcon 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, with conditions: CC BY-SA 4.0 asks you to credit the author (OpenMoji), and icons you change must use the same license. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.
Yes. CC BY-SA 4.0 asks you to credit OpenMoji, and icons you change must be shared under the same license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
