Question Circle Icon
question-circle · Essentional Ui · 6 styles
Filed under Essentional Ui, the Question Circle icon is part of the Solar Icons Angular package. It is one of 139 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Question Circle lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "question-circle", and every style variant resolves from that single name.
Users read the shape as a circular container that softens the glyph. That places Question Circle in the Essentional Ui family, which covers the primitives every interface needs — add, close, check, menu, info, danger and turns up in buttons, dialogs, toasts, form validation and empty states. Teams building literally every application, which is why it is the largest set here reach for this set first. Use Question Circle 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.
Question Circle in 6 styles
Question Circle is drawn in 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.

Because each export is a separate binding, unused variants are dropped by the bundler. Import QuestionCircleBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/essentional-ui" 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 question-circle live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.

Question Circle icon FAQ
- How do I use the question-circle icon in Angular?
- Import QuestionCircleBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/essentional-ui", register it with provideSolarIcons(QuestionCircleBold) and render <solar-icon name="question-circle" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
- Which styles does Question Circle support?
- 6 of them: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Each is a separate export, so you only ship the ones you import.
- Can I change the size and colour of question-circle?
- Yes. The size input accepts any CSS length and the SVG uses currentColor, so Question Circle inherits the text colour of its container — a Tailwind class such as text-violet-400 is enough.
