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

file shortcut, symlink file, file alias, symbolic link

Don’t confuse with

file-link: the link badge means shared via link, not an OS alias

Also fits

linked file: an OS shortcut or alias (file-shortcut)

Tags

document, shortcut, symlink, alias, link, reference, file
