About Symbols icons

Flags again lead here, then hands for gestures, buttons and controls, clocks, keys, hearts and the figures that stand in for a person. This category holds the icons that mean something rather than depict something, which is why it overlaps with UI work.

Where these get used

Interface work of every kind: status, state, action and category marking. The hand and gesture set carries instructional content, the key and lock icons carry security and access, and the clock icons carry anything time based. Because these are meaning rather than subject, they turn up across products that have nothing else in common, and that is precisely when a consistent render style earns its keep: the same lighting on a key and a clock makes an interface look built rather than collected. Accessibility and status indicators draw from here, where meaning has to survive being shrunk. Legal and policy pages use the key and document marks for section navigation, and multi language products use the flag set, which is the one place a mismatched icon is noticed by every visitor at once.
