Decorative images should have empty alt text.

More or less this is inline image.

Sorry I disagree - it is not an inline image as per the example you link to. It is a purely decorative image

Imagine what you want to hear when a screen reader reads the path. That is basically what should be there in the alt attribute.

• "You are here: menuitem arrow submenuitem arrow category arrow article"
• "You are here: menuitem submenuitem category article"

I would probably prefer the second one.
"Arrow" would be wrong anyway since it could be whatever since it is overrideable by the template.

That is why it is called decorative images
