Frequently asked questions
What the Pilcrow icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The pilcrow icon represents a typographical symbol used to indicate a paragraph or a section of text. It is commonly used in word processing and editing software to represent a paragraph break or a section divider. The pilcrow icon has become a standard symbol in typography, signifying a paragraph or text section.
In software and applications, the pilcrow icon is often used in conjunction with text editing, writing, or typography functionality. For example, in word processing software like Microsoft Word or Google Docs, the pilcrow icon is used to indicate paragraph breaks.
From a UX perspective, the pilcrow icon communicates a clear and concise way to indicate paragraph breaks or section dividers. It helps users understand the structure and organization of text.
Pilcrow is one of 342 icons in Radix Icons, made by WorkOS and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 15 × 15 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 PilcrowIcon to components/icons/radix-icons-pilcrow.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 PilcrowIcon 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.
Yes, if your project has @radix-ui/react-icons: Pilcrow is `PilcrowIcon` there, used as <PilcrowIcon />. The shadcn.io MCP server answers with that import when it finds the package. Without it, copy the icon from here.
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 Pilcrow icon, or any of 342 Radix Icons 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 15 × 15 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="Pilcrow", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. PilcrowIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <PilcrowIcon 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 Radix Icons, WorkOS and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
