- Prefer left-right symmetric shapes (40% of icons are symmetric).
- Keep it simple: about 1 element and 22 drawing commands per icon.
- Elements used by the set: path, g, rect.
Color
- Monochrome: paint with currentColor only, never a fixed color.
Output
- Reply with one complete <svg> element and nothing else: no comments, <title>, ids or scripts.
