iconic symbols
Universally known images
Iconic symbols are images or signs that visually resemble what they represent—a stick figure for a person, a flame for fire, a heart shape for love.
The term distinguishes these from arbitrary symbols (like letters or numbers) that bear no visual relationship to their meaning.
