Introduction
Programming icons are essential tools for developers, providing visual symbols that enhance software projects and web design. A vast collection of over 76,973 programming icons is available in various formats, including SVG, PSD, PNG, EPS, and icon fonts [1] [2]. These icons can be customized to fit specific project needs, making them versatile for different applications [3].
One popular resource is Devicon, which offers a comprehensive set of icons representing various programming languages and development tools. Users can utilize these icons as fonts or directly incorporate SVG code into their projects [4]. Additionally, platforms like Font Awesome provide coding icons that can be seamlessly integrated into applications and interfaces, enhancing user experience and design aesthetics [5].
For those seeking royalty-free options, The Noun Project hosts a diverse collection of programming images, offering over 20,636 icons that can be downloaded and edited online [2] [6]. In summary, programming icons play a crucial role in the development process, providing both functionality and visual appeal across various digital platforms.
Hamburger Menu
The web browser menu icon showing three horizontal bars (≡) is most commonly called the Hamburger button or Hamburger menu.
This name comes from its visual resemblance to a hamburger: a top bun, a patty, and a bottom bun. 1 Its function is to toggle (open and close) a side menu or navigation bar, particularly on mobile or minimalist website designs where space is limited.

Kebab Menu
The three vertical dots menu icon (⋮) in a web browser is most commonly referred to by a few different names:
- Kebab menu: This is a popular colloquial term, humorously named to be the vertical counterpart to the "Hamburger menu" (three horizontal lines).
- Vertical ellipsis (⋮): This is the technical name for the symbol itself, as it represents omitted text or, in this context, "more" options that don't fit in the main interface.
- Overflow menu: This is the term Google uses in its Android/Material Design guidelines, as the button often holds actions or settings that have "overflowed" from the main toolbar.
- More Options icon: This is a common and descriptive label used across many platforms, including Apple's design terminology.
In web browsers like Google Chrome, tapping this icon usually opens the main settings and tools menu for the entire browser window.
