Use the controls at the top of this page to preview shield_question at any size and color, filled or outlined, and at any weight, grade or optical size, then copy the code. Here is what each setting does in your own Angular app.
Change the Shield Question icon size
<mat-icon> is fixed at 24 × 24 px, so set width and height along with font-size or the Shield Question glyph will overflow its box. Match opsz to the size for the crispest strokes.
<mat-icon class="shield-question-icon">shield_question</mat-icon>
.shield-question-icon {
font-size: 40px;
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
font-variation-settings: 'opsz' 40;
}Change the Shield Question icon color
The icon is a font glyph, so it takes the CSS text color. Set color on the <mat-icon> or on a parent, or use a theme variable to follow light and dark mode.
.shield-question-icon {
color: #1a73e8;
/* or follow your Material 3 theme */
color: var(--mat-sys-primary);
}Use the filled Shield Question icon
Material Symbols draws shield_question as an outline by default. Set the FILL axis to 1 for the solid version. It is the same icon name, so no extra font is needed.
.shield-question-icon {
font-variation-settings: 'FILL' 1;
}Change the Shield Question icon weight, grade and optical size
Weight (wght, 100 to 700) sets stroke thickness. Grade (GRAD, -25 to 200) fine-tunes thickness without changing size, for example -25 for light icons on dark backgrounds. Optical size (opsz, 20 to 48) adjusts detail for the size you display. Your font link must request these ranges, as below.
<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=shield_question&display=block" />
.shield-question-icon {
font-variation-settings: 'FILL' 0, 'wght' 300, 'GRAD' 0, 'opsz' 24;
}Shield Question icon FAQ
- How do I change the color of the Shield Question icon in Angular Material?
- Give the <mat-icon> a class and set the CSS color property, for example .shield-question-icon { color: #1a73e8; }. The shield_question icon is a font glyph, so any text color works, including theme variables such as var(--mat-sys-primary).
- How do I make the Shield Question icon bigger?
- Set font-size, width and height together, for example font-size: 40px; width: 40px; height: 40px;. <mat-icon> has a fixed 24px box, so changing font-size alone makes the icon overflow.
- How do I get the filled Shield Question icon?
- Keep <mat-icon>shield_question</mat-icon> and set font-variation-settings: 'FILL' 1 in CSS. Material Symbols uses one name for both the outlined and filled Shield Question icon.
- How do I make the Shield Question icon thinner or bolder?
- Change the wght axis with font-variation-settings, from 'wght' 100 (thin) to 'wght' 700 (bold). Load the font with the full weight range, or the browser falls back to 400.
- Can I download the Shield Question icon as an SVG?
- Yes. Pick a style, fill and weight in the preview above, then open the SVG tab to copy or download shield_question.svg. Google publishes it under the Apache License 2.0, so it is free for commercial use.
