The [aria-label] attribute is used to provide an accessible name to an element that might not otherwise have one. For example, let’s say you have a button that’s used to download a file. Instead of text, it includes a download icon as an inline SVG, like this… button svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="1em" width="1em" viewBox="0 0 16 16"path fill="currentColor" d="M13.922 5.626A3.72 3.72 0 0010.205 2a3.712 3.712 0 00-2.92 1.418 2.09 2.09 0 00-3.
