/**
 * Wraps an icon that points somewhere — an arrow, a chevron, a "next" glyph —
 * and mirrors it under RTL via `rtl:-scale-x-100`. Icons that represent
 * physical direction (a play button, a checkmark) should not be wrapped in
 * this; only ones whose meaning is "forward/back" or "next/previous" relative
 * to reading direction.

  return (
    <span aria-hidden="true" className={cn("inline-flex rtl:-scale-x-100", className)}>
