Question 1

What does the Square Mouse Pointer icon mean?

Accepted Answer

Featuring a mouse pointer cursor overlaying a square, this icon represents cursor tools and pointer interactions in design and drawing applications. The cursor symbol indicates selection modes, pointer tools, and the default interaction state where users can click, select, and interact with interface elements without specialized drawing or editing tools active.

Question 2

Where is the Square Mouse Pointer icon used?

Accepted Answer

In design applications like Figma, Sketch, and Adobe XD, users select this tool to return to default selection mode after using specialized tools. Drawing applications implement it for object selection and manipulation, while presentation software such as PowerPoint and Keynote displays it for slide element selection during editing sessions.

Question 3

What does the Square Mouse Pointer icon tell users?

The pointer overlay communicates more than cursor presence - it specifically represents selection capability, the distinction between viewing and interacting modes, and the ready state for clicking and dragging interface elements. This tool indicator helps users understand their current interaction mode.

Question 12

How do I change the size of the Square Mouse Pointer icon?

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.

Question 13

How do I make the Square Mouse Pointer icon accessible?

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="Square Mouse Pointer", so screen readers say what it does.
