Better "paste" icon

Thanks for making these pretty icons!

I am using several icons for copying different types of content to the clipboard:

  • bi-clipboard2-pulse for one kind of data.
  • bi-clipboard2-data for another kind of data.
  • bi-clipboard2-plus for generic data.

But I can't find a good icon for pasting data from the clipboard. Just using bi-clipboard2 would be confusing. In another issue here, you suggested using bi-clipboard2-plus for a paste icon, but I think that is confusing as well, and I prefer using that for a generic copy icon.

I have searched on the internet, and there doesn't seem to be a general consensus for how paste icons should look.

So I use bi-box-arrow-down for the paste icon, to signify that the content is being "pulled down" from its storage.

I think a better paste icon would be a combination of bi-clipboard2 and bi-box-arrow-down to indicate that content is being pulled out of the clipboard.

What do you think? Is this something you could add?

Thanks!
