Sos Stencil

The sos-stencil icon represents a stencil or template for creating a distress signal or emergency alert. It is commonly associated with crisis management and urgent communication. The icon's design typically features a stylized representation of a stencil or template with SOS written in a bold, recognizable font.

In software applications and digital platforms, the sos-stencil icon might be used in emergency response systems, crisis management tools, or support services to provide a quick and recognizable way to signal a need for help. For instance, it could be used in a mobile app to create a customizable emergency alert or in a website to provide a template for users to report a crisis.

From a UX perspective, the sos-stencil icon communicates a sense of urgency and importance. It helps users quickly identify a way to create a distress signal or emergency alert, thereby enhancing their safety and well-being.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds SosStencilIcon to components/icons/openmoji-sos-stencil.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 SosStencilIcon 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 Sos Stencil icon, or any of 4,481 OpenMoji icons, and install it from a prompt.

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

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="Sos Stencil", so screen readers say what it does.

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