inheritViewBoxboolfalse
If true, the root node will inherit the custom component's viewBox and the viewBox prop will be ignored. Useful when you want to reference a custom component and have SvgIcon pass that component's viewBox to the root node.
shapeRenderingstring

| bool>
| func
| object
The system prop that allows defining system overrides as well as additional CSS styles. See the `sx` page for more details.
titleAccessstring
Provides a human-readable title for the element that contains it. https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG-access/#Equivalent
viewBoxstring'0 0 24 24'
Allows you to redefine what the coordinates without units mean inside an SVG element. For example, if the SVG element is 500 (width) by 200 (height), and you pass viewBox="0 0 50 20", this means that the coordinates inside the SVG will go from the top left corner (0,0) to bottom right (50,20) and each unit will be worth 10px.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.
