Breadcrumb with Icons

Icons plus text throughout breadcrumbs maximize clarity—visual landmarks with readable labels. This React breadcrumb pairs Lucide React icons with text for each level using shadcn/ui components, combining Folder for categories with Home text, and FileText for current page. Built with gap-1.5 spacing and size-4 icons on Radix UI, the pattern provides dual encoding for hierarchy recognition. Perfect for applications where icon-plus-text redundancy aids comprehension, interfaces serving users with varying familiarity levels, content systems where both visual and textual cues matter, or any navigation prioritizing maximum clarity over space efficiency—icons provide quick visual scanning, text ensures understanding.
