Letter Unread Icon
letter-unread · Message Conversation · 6 styles
Letter Unread is one of the glyphs Solar Icons ships inside its Message Conversation set. It is one of 48 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Letter Unread lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "letter-unread", and every style variant resolves from that single name.
Read literally, the shape signals items that have not been opened. That places Letter Unread in the Message Conversation family, which covers chat bubbles, threads and message state and turns up in inboxes, chat headers, unread badges and notification centres. Teams building messaging, support desks and collaboration tools reach for this set first. Use Letter Unread where the label alone would be ambiguous — an icon-only button, a dense table row, a mobile tab bar — and keep an accessible name on the control, because the SVG itself is decorative.
Letter Unread in 6 styles
Letter Unread has been redrawn for 6 style variants: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Bold gives you solid filled shapes that hold their weight at 16px and read clearly against coloured backgrounds. Bold Duotone gives you a filled body with a second, lower-opacity layer that adds depth without a second colour token. Linear gives you even 1.5px strokes, the neutral default for dense interfaces and toolbars. A common pairing is Bold for the selected state and Line Duotone for the rest, so the active item reads without a colour change.

Nothing is registered globally by default, so the import list is the bundle. Import LetterUnreadBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/message-conversation" entry point, hand it to provideSolarIcons in your application config or in a route-level providers array, and render it with the solar-icon component. All 6 exports for letter-unread live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.

- Import LetterUnreadBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/message-conversation", register it with provideSolarIcons(LetterUnreadBold) and render <solar-icon name="letter-unread" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
