Each SVG is 16 × 16 with fill="currentColor". Keep it at 16 px or an exact multiple (32, 48) on whole pixels: a fractional size or position blurs it. The snippets are decorative (aria-hidden). For an icon that carries meaning on its own, such as an icon-only button, label the button, or give the SVG role="img" and an aria-label. More in how to use.

Meaning

Use it for

external link, open in new, open externally, open in new tab, open in new window, outbound link

Alternatives

arrow-up-right: a compact link chip without the box (M3 arrow_outward)
link: a hyperlink or a copy-link action (link)

Don’t confuse with

share: share sends content to another app or person (share)
share-up: the iOS share sheet, a box with an arrow out of the top; it is not a link

Also fits

link: a link that opens outside the app or in a new tab
outward: a link that opens outside the app (external-link); M3 draws it as arrow_outward, gentleface as the box with an arrow

Tags

link, external, new-window, open, outbound
