Question 1

What does the Code icon mean?

Accepted Answer

The code icon represents a programming or coding symbol, often used to indicate development, software engineering, or computer programming. It is a widely recognized symbol in the tech industry. The code icon has its roots in the early days of computing, where coding was a fundamental aspect of programming. Over time, the icon has evolved to become a standard representation of coding and programming.

Question 2

Where is the Code icon used?

Accepted Answer

The code icon appears in various software and platforms, including integrated development environments (IDEs) like Visual Studio, Eclipse, and IntelliJ. It is also commonly used in text editors, coding tools, and online platforms like GitHub, Stack Overflow, and CodePen. In addition, the code icon is often used in web development, mobile app development, and software development.

Question 3

What does the Code icon tell users?

Accepted Answer

From a UX perspective, the code icon communicates that the user is about to interact with code or programming-related functionality. It helps users understand that they will be working with code, and it sets expectations for the type of actions they can perform. The code icon is often used in conjunction with other icons or elements to provide a clear visual hierarchy and guide the user's attention.

Question 4

Can I download the Code icon as SVG or PNG?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

How do I install the Code icon with the shadcn CLI?

Accepted Answer

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds the icon to components/icons/websymbol-code.tsx.

Question 6

How do I use the Code icon in Next.js or React?

Accepted Answer

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed CodeIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Question 7

How do I use the Code icon in Vue, Svelte or Angular?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

Can my AI agent install it for me?

Accepted Answer

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Code icon, or any of 85 Web Symbols Liga icons, and install it from a prompt.

Question 9

Can I use the Code icon in commercial projects?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 10

Is the Code icon free?

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 Code 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 Code icon?

Accepted Answer

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 1000 × 1000 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Question 13

How do I make the Code 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="Code", so screen readers say what it does.
