Code icon FAQ
What does this icon show?
App window with a title bar and angle brackets inside, for code editors, developer tools and code snippets. Typical uses: developer tools section nav item, code snippet block header and embed code button.
When should I use it instead of a similar icon?
Use it for:
- Open in editor and Open in sandbox buttons on a docs example or a starter template card
- The Edit code entry in a theme or site builder menu, which opens the full source in an editor
- A view source pane opened beside a web page preview, showing the markup behind it
For embed snippets and custom HTML blocks in a share dialog or a page builder, use the Square Code icon. For install commands, shell access and build log tabs on a deployment page, use the Square Terminal icon. For snippets shared in a team chat thread or a developer support reply, use the Message Programming 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?
Artificial Intelligence and Command sit beside it in the same toolbar or menu. More from the same family and the Development set: SIM Card Code, Square Code, Scan QR Code and Hierarchy.
When was it added?
It joined the ReUI icon library on June 30, 2026.
