Descent

The descent icon represents a downward movement or a decrease in value. It is often used in software applications to indicate a decrease or a drop in a particular metric or value. The icon's design typically features a simple and recognizable symbol that conveys the idea of downward movement. This icon is essential in UI design as it helps users understand changes in data or values.

In software applications like data visualization tools, financial software, or analytics platforms, the descent icon is commonly used to indicate a decrease in values or metrics. For instance, in a financial dashboard, a descent icon might be used to show a decrease in stock prices or a drop in sales. This helps users quickly understand changes in data and make informed decisions.

From a UX perspective, the descent icon communicates a change in value or data. When users see this icon, they understand that there has been a decrease in a particular metric or value. This helps users quickly identify trends or patterns in data and make informed decisions. The descent icon can also be used to provide context or clarify complex data, making it easier for users to navigate the interface.

Descent is one of 824 icons in Pico-icon, made by Picon Contributors and released under Open Font License. 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 DescentIcon to components/icons/picon-descent.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 DescentIcon 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 Descent icon, or any of 824 Pico-icon 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="Descent", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. DescentIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <DescentIcon 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. The Open Font License allows commercial use; the icons can't be sold on their own. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: Open Font License 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 Pico-icon, Picon Contributors and the license.

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

Its tags are UI, interface, element, grid, mixed and other. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Descent in another set.
