Question 1

What does the Text Cursor Input icon mean?

Accepted Answer

The text-cursor-input icon represents text input fields and form entry areas in user interfaces. Featuring an I-beam cursor within a bordered field container, this symbol indicates text input components, form fields, and the editable text areas essential for data entry forms, search boxes, and user input interfaces across web applications.

Question 2

Where is the Text Cursor Input icon used?

Accepted Answer

In form builder platforms like Typeform and JotForm, text-cursor-input icons appear when selecting text field components or configuring input types. Design systems including Material Design and component libraries such as shadcn/ui display it for Input component documentation, while form validation tools like Formik use it to represent text entry fields in form schemas and configuration interfaces.

Question 3

What does the Text Cursor Input icon tell users?

Accepted Answer

From a user interface design perspective, the bordered cursor representation communicates more than text capability—it represents contained input areas, the defined field boundaries that distinguish structured form inputs from freeform text editors, and the focused input states that signal where users should enter specific pieces of information.

Can I download the Text Cursor Input icon as SVG or PNG?

Accepted Answer

How do I use the Text Cursor Input icon in Vue, Svelte or Angular?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 11

How do I change the color of the Text Cursor Input icon?

Accepted Answer

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Question 12

How do I change the size of the Text Cursor Input icon?

Accepted Answer

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 Text Cursor Input icon accessible?

Accepted Answer

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="Text Cursor Input", so screen readers say what it does.
