Text Italic Icon

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

Use it for the italic button in a document or email editor's format bar, beside bold; and stressed words and book or film titles in web copy, where an underline would read as a hyperlink. For a single line input in a form builder palette, drawn as a caret in a box, use the Text Field icon. For a tooltip trigger beside a form label that explains the input, use the Information Circle icon.

Slanted letter I inside a rounded square, for italic formatting, emphasis and text toolbars. Available in 4 styles (outline, solid, duotone and filled) as a React component you install with the shadcn CLI.
