Arrow Left Triangle Icon

Q: When should I use it instead of a similar icon?

Use it for previous page buttons in a table pager that also has first and last page buttons; and callout pointers on annotated screenshots and onboarding hints, like a Start here tag. For reverse playback controls in a video or audio player, use the To Left icon. For month steppers in a calendar or date picker header, use the Left icon.

Straight arrow pointing left with a solid triangular head, for back, previous and move left cues. Available in 4 styles (outline, solid, duotone and filled) as a React component you install with the shadcn CLI.

Arrow Left Triangle icon FAQ

What does this icon show?

Straight arrow pointing left with a solid triangular head, for back, previous and move left cues. Typical uses: back control in a compact toolbar, previous item button in a media player and point to a label in a diagram.

When should I use it instead of a similar icon?

Use it for:

Previous page buttons in a table pager that also has first and last page buttons
Callout pointers on annotated screenshots and onboarding hints, like a Start here tag

For reverse playback controls in a video or audio player, use the To Left icon. For month steppers in a calendar or date picker header, use the Left icon.

Which styles does it come in?

4 styles: Outline, Solid, Duotone and Filled. Every style is drawn on the same 24 by 24 grid and installs as its own file, so you can switch styles without touching the layout.

How do I install it with the shadcn CLI?

Copy the install command from the panel above, in the style you want, and run it in your project. The shadcn CLI adds the icon as a React component that you import and render like any other. It draws in the current text color, so your text color and size classes style it. Icon installs need a ReUI Ultimate license.

What icons go well with it?

Arrow Left Line and Arrow Right Triangle sit beside it in the same toolbar or menu. More from the same family and the Arrows set: Arrow Down Triangle, Arrow Up Triangle, Arrow Back and Arrow Down.

When was it added, and what was it called before?

It joined the ReUI icon library on June 30, 2026. It was previously named black-left, and that install name still resolves to this icon.
