How to fix a mobile icon on the Venture theme?

Topic summary

A user encountered an issue with the Venture theme where the mobile navigation’s left arrow icon displayed incorrectly and needed to point right instead.

Problem Details:

  • The icon was defined in theme.scss.liquid as $slick-prev-character: '\2190'
  • Two comparison images were provided showing the incorrect (left) versus correct (right) arrow appearance

Suggested Solutions:

  • Change the character code from '\2190' (left arrow) to '\2192' (right arrow) in the SCSS file
  • Use an HTML symbols reference tool to find matching icons
  • Note that the theme may have been modified from its original SVG icons to HTML symbols

Resolution:
The issue was resolved by modifying the d:/path numerical string for the icon to display the proper arrow direction. The user confirmed the fix worked successfully.

This mobile view display icon of the left arrow is incorrect, should look like right arrow. It may be that the d:“path” is incorrect. I am not sure how to fix this, any ideas? in the theme.scss.liquid the icon is defined as $slick-prev-character: ‘\2190’; I have attached 2 images below. The left icon is the issue.

Thank you in advance for your help on this issue.

It looks like you’ve got your arrows swapped,no worries, it’s an easy fix.

Open Online Store > Themes > Edit code and find your theme.scss.liquid file. Look for the variable $slick-prev-character: '\2190'; and change that '\2190' (left arrow) to '\2192' (right arrow).

Save, refresh your mobile view, and your “previous” arrow will now actually point right.

Looks like the theme was modified – originally it uses SVG icons rather than HTML symbols.

Since we can’t see your page find a matching one yourself at https://en.web-tool.org/html-symbols/

Note that not all fonts contain all these symbols…

Hi Everyone,

I solved the issue. I ended up having someone directing me to change the d:/ path for the icon to a different numerical string for the proper arrow (as pictured on the right) and it worked.

Thank you for all your help on this issue, greatly appreciated.
