description: "Arrow left animated icon (Arrows). The arrow goes left. Light: it launches left along its shaft, accelerating, and fades before the edge; a fresh arrow slides in from behind, lands just past its rest pose and settles. Strong: it winds back first, launches farther with a speed trail that retracts behind it, and the fresh arrow lands with a bigger overshoot and settles in two beats. Shaft and head are one part so they fade as one."

# Arrow left animated icon

The arrow goes left. Light: it launches left along its shaft, accelerating, and fades before the edge; a fresh arrow slides in from behind, lands just past its rest pose and settles. Strong: it winds back first, launches farther with a speed trail that retracts behind it, and the fresh arrow lands with a bigger overshoot and settles in two beats. Shaft and head are one part so they fade as one.
