Align an Svg layer within another Svg to the center

I'm attempting a seemingly easy task: placing one svg layer inside another and centering it.

In this particular situation, I have a simple arrow (represented by an svg path) that needs to be nested within a rectangle (a square shape in this case).

The challenge lies in my lack of experience with SVG - I've only been able to place one svg inside another so far, and time is of the essence :)

I've tried to conduct my own research, but haven't found a clear explanation yet. Most resources mention how to combine layers, rather than specifically centering one within another (as it would be done when centering them in a div tag).

Here is the code snippet:

 <svg width="38" height="38" viewBox="0 0 38 38" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
    <rect x="0.5" y="0.5" width="37" height="37" rx="9.5" stroke="#222426"/>
    <svg width="18" height="12" viewBox="0 0 18 12" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
    <path d="M0.66732 0.999999L8.72964 10.8681C8.76363 10.9095 8.80536 10.9428 8.85208 10.9655C8.89879 10.9882 8.94943 11 9.00065 11C9.05187 11 9.10251 10.9882 9.14922 10.9655C9.19594 10.9428 9.23767 10.9095 9.27167 10.8681L17.334 1" stroke="#222426" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"/>
    </svg>

Oh, disregard that last message, I was able to figure it out :D

I realized that I needed to wrap the SVG path (arrow) in another SVG layer and specify the x and y attributes to change the arrow's position.

Here is the updated code:

<svg width="38" height="38" viewBox="0 0 38 38" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
    <rect x="0.5" y="0.5" width="37" height="37" rx="9.5" stroke="#222426"/>
      <svg
        x="10"
        y="13">
    <svg width="18" height="12" viewBox="0 0 18 12" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
    <path d="M0.66732 0.999999L8.72964 10.8681C8.76363 10.9095 8.80536 10.9428 8.85208 10.9655C8.89879 10.9882 8.94943 11 9.00065 11C9.05187 11 9.10251 10.9882 9.14922 10.9655C9.19594 10.9428 9.23767 10.9095 9.27167 10.8681L17.334 1" stroke="#222426" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"/>

To center the desired element, wrap it within another SVG container to allow for percentage-based values. In the "outer" SVG, specify properties like width and height that you want to maintain. If not specified, the width will default to 100% of the containing element.

Within the inner SVG, define the x position and width as percentages based on your requirements. For example, set x=25%, width=50%, and establish scaling needs such as preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" and viewBox="0 0 800 52".

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="52px">
