symbol

A symbol is a mark, sign, or word that indicates, signifies, or is understood as representing an idea, object, or relationship. Symbols allow people to go beyond what is known or seen by creating linkages between otherwise very different concepts and experiences. All communication (and data processing) is achieved through the use of symbols. Symbols take the form of words, sounds, gestures, ideas, or visual images and are used to convey other ideas and beliefs. For example, a red octagon is a common symbol for "STOP"; on maps, blue lines often represent rivers; and a red rose often symbolizes love and compassion. Numerals are symbols for numbers; letters of an alphabet may be symbols for certain phonemes; and personal names are symbols representing individuals.
The academic study of symbols is semiotics. In cartography, an organized collection of symbols forms a legend for a map.

Touching it changes it to a smaller version of the larger mast symbol but I can't hear any difference in the audio. I haven't found any reference to it...

    Wheel symbol on driver’s display

    Hey guys! I’m new to the MG4, coming from the VW ID.3. I can’t find any info about this in the user manual so I thought I’d post a question here. What is the wheel symbol on the driver’s display that alternates between a grey and white color? I just can’t figure this out.
