'''Symbols''' are objects, characters, or other concrete representations of ideas, concepts, or other abstractions. For example, in the United States and Canada, a red [[octagon]] is a symbol for the traffic sign meaning "STOP". In more psychological and philosophical terms, every perception is symbolic, and humans often react to symbolism on a subconscious level. | '''Symbols''' are objects, characters, or other concrete representations of ideas, concepts, or other abstractions.
