(Or "pictograph") A symbol which is a picture that
represents an object or concept, e.g. a picture of an envelope
used to represent an e-mail message.

places or roads, whereas the term "icon" is specific to
interfaces on computers or other electronic devices.

representing concepts), the other kind are not pictures but are
conventions.
