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

refresh, reload, reload page, retry

Alternatives

sync: keep two copies in step (sync); motifs.yaml refresh
rotate-cw: rotate an object clockwise (rotate)
restart: restart an app, a device or a process (restart)

Don’t confuse with

repeat: repeat is the media loop (loop), motifs.yaml refresh

Also fits

restart: reload content or a page
regenerate: under an AI answer the bare refresh is enough
mail syncing: a manual reload

Not for

redo (use redo): refresh reloads content; redo reapplies an undone edit
sync (use sync): the refresh motif does not mean sync
rotate counterclockwise (use rotate-ccw): the bare circular arrow means refresh
rotate (use rotate-cw): the refresh motif does not mean rotate
loading (use loader): refresh is an action the user takes; a spinner is a state
repeat (use repeat): the refresh motif does not mean repeat
replay (use replay): refresh reloads a page or data (refresh)

Tags

reload, rotate, clockwise, circular-arrow
