FAQ
Answered from arrow-left's own facts: its shelf, the weights it was drawn in, its siblings and its dates.
- What is the arrow-left icon for?
- Points west, for back, previous and any control that reverses a step. It is filed under Arrows in Keyline Icons, drawn on the same 24×24 grid as the rest of the set. People look for it as west, back, previous, return, reverse, direction, move and navigate, and the browser's search matches all of those.
- What styles does the arrow-left icon come in?
- Stroke. There are no duotone or fill drawings of this one: a filled weight needs an enclosed area, either in the glyph itself or from a square or circle container.
- Is there a square or circle version of arrow-left?
- Yes. The same drawing is also boxed, as square-arrow-left and circle-arrow-left. Each is its own icon with its own name.
- What other icons go with arrow-left?
- arrow-down, arrow-down-dashed-panel, arrow-down-left, arrow-down-left-dashed-panel, arrow-down-narrow-wide and arrow-down-right, and 12 more, all shown below. The arrow family is listed first, then the rest of the Arrows shelf, so the row under this one is the useful one even where a shelf runs long.
- How do I import arrow-left in React?
- <ArrowLeft /> is the component, and the weight decides the module: stroke from "@keyline-icons/react". It takes the usual SVG props plus a size, so <ArrowLeft size={16} /> and className="size-4" both work, and there is no provider or theme to set up.
- Where is the arrow-left SVG?
- icons/stroke/arrow-left.svg in the repository, normalised: no wrapper, no ids and no classes to strip out. The tabs above hand you the same drawing as SVG or JSX without the download, and neither needs an install.
- When was arrow-left added to the set?
- Added 8 Aug 2026. It ships in v0.1.0, so an install at that version or later has it.
Questions about the set rather than about this drawing are answered where they belong. The home page covers what the set is, how the three styles differ, why some icons come boxed and where the Figma file is; installing the set in a shadcn/ui project covers the React package, the CLI and using an icon without React. The MIT licence is stated in the footer of every page.
