FAQ
Answered from brace-left's own facts: its shelf, the weights it was drawn in, its siblings and its dates.
- What is the brace-left icon for?
- A single opening brace, for the start of a block, an object literal and code snippets. It is filed under Math in Keyline Icons, drawn on the same 24×24 grid as the rest of the set. People look for it as curly brace, opening brace, left brace, object start, json, code and scope, and the browser's search matches all of those.
- What styles does the brace-left icon come in?
- All four: stroke, two-tone, duotone and fill. They are drawn from the same geometry, so swapping style never moves anything.
- Is there a square or circle version of brace-left?
- No. brace-left is drawn as a bare glyph, and the set has no boxed variant of it.
- What other icons go with brace-left?
- brace-right, asterisk, braces, braces-ellipsis, bracket-left and bracket-right, and 12 more, all shown below. The brace family is listed first, then the rest of the Math shelf, so the row under this one is the useful one even where a shelf runs long.
- How do I import brace-left in React?
- <BraceLeft /> is the component, and the weight decides the module: stroke from "@keyline-icons/react", two-tone from "@keyline-icons/react/two-tone", duotone from "@keyline-icons/react/duotone" and fill from "@keyline-icons/react/fill". It takes the usual SVG props plus a size, so <BraceLeft size={16} /> and className="size-4" both work, and there is no provider or theme to set up.
- Where is the brace-left SVG?
- icons/stroke/brace-left.svg, icons/two-tone/brace-left.svg, icons/duotone/brace-left.svg and icons/fill/brace-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 brace-left added to the set?
- Added 18 Oct 2026. It ships in v2.0.0, 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.
