Sometimes SVG icons are overkill—Unicode works. This React pattern shows three Kbd components with Unicode symbols (↵ Enter, ⌫ Delete, ⇥ Tab) plus text labels—lightweight alternative to icon components. Built with shadcn/ui Kbd, it's perfect for minimalist documentation, markdown-based docs, plain text compatibility, email documentation, or any context avoiding JavaScript dependencies while still showing visual key symbols.
