Backspace icon

Backspace is a Google Material Symbol from the UI actions category. It's one of the 500 most used Material Symbols. It comes in outlined, rounded and sharp styles, filled or unfilled, at seven weights from 100 to 700. Download it as SVG or PNG, or copy code for HTML, React, Vue, Angular, Flutter and Android — it's free to use under the Apache License 2.0.

Backspace icon in HTML

Load the Material Symbols font from Google Fonts (this link loads just this icon), then use the icon's name as text.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Material+Symbols+Outlined:opsz,wght,FILL,GRAD@20..48,100..700,0..1,-50..200&icon_names=backspace" />

// With the font from the HTML tab:
export function BackspaceIcon() {
  return (
    <span className="material-symbols-outlined">
      backspace
    </span>
  );
}

// Or as an SVG component (Vite + vite-plugin-svgr) instead:
//   npm install @material-symbols/svg-400
//   import BackspaceIcon from "@material-symbols/svg-400/outlined/backspace.svg?react";

     npm install @material-symbols/svg-400
     import BackspaceIcon from "@material-symbols/svg-400/outlined/backspace.svg?component"; -->

With Angular Material and the font from the HTML tab:
