'''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.

Common examples of symbols are the symbols used on maps to denote places of interest, such as crossed sabers to indicate a battlefield, and the [[numeral]]s used to represent [[number]]s.  Common psychological symbols are the use of a gun to represent a [[penis]] or a tunnel to represent a [[vagina]].
