Chevrons

The chevrons icon represents a pair of directional arrows pointing in opposite directions, often used to indicate a change in direction or a back-and-forth movement. This symbol has been used in various contexts, including navigation and design. Its origin is unclear, but it has become a common visual element in user interfaces.

In software and digital platforms, chevrons are commonly used in dropdown menus, accordions, and other interactive elements to indicate expandable or collapsible content. For example, in web design, chevrons are often used in responsive navigation menus to indicate the presence of submenus or additional content.

From a UX perspective, the chevrons icon communicates the idea of movement or change in direction, helping users understand that there is more content available beyond what is currently visible. This icon can also be used to indicate a reversal or a return to a previous state.

Chevrons is one of 2,125 icons in WebHostingHub Glyphs, made by WebHostingHub and released under Open Font License. It is drawn on a 1024 × 1024 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 ChevronsIcon to components/icons/whh-chevrons.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 ChevronsIcon 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 Chevrons icon, or any of 2,125 WebHostingHub Glyphs 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 1024 × 1024 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="Chevrons", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. ChevronsIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ChevronsIcon 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 WebHostingHub Glyphs, WebHostingHub and the license.

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

Its tags are interface, navigation, symbol, element, indicator and directional. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Chevrons in another set.
