• rock painting as distinguished from petroglyphs;
• a chart which represents numeric data by pictures.

This page does not really apply to the "as distinguished from petroglyphs" meaning, so either that should be at the top of the page, or there should be a separate "pictograph" page for the "rock painting" definition, since the definition on the main page includes both forms of rock art.Mk421 (talk) 04:04, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Public toilets

Is the "Pictogram for public toilets" used internationally? Hyacinth 08:22, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

yes.

Is the "pictogram for public toilets" actually a pictogram? Whilst the signs represents a man / woman - they aren't used to actually mean "man" / "woman", but rather male-toilet / female-toilet - which makes them ideograms rather than pictograms --Davémon 11:39, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

And I think 'yes' should probably be qualified. Uncited, I may go as far as "it's generally accepted as an 'internationally recognized' symbol", but I can think of a few places in the world where the representation of a woman in a short dress would be bordering on pornographic to local norms.

Traffic signs as pictograms

In countries or regions where two or more languages are used, the typical traffic sign is very often a symbol with no writing on it. This is the case for much of Europe and several parts of Canada. Many of these signs, however, offer an abstract symbol instead of a picture, and they cannot be considered true pictograms.

Self-Promotion

I'm about to delete the section promoting the Book of the Ground wiki, for obvious reasons. Not that it isn't interesting. Tdimhcs (talk) 00:46, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Relation to emojis and hieroglyphs

It would be good if the article stated the relation to emojis and hieroglyphs. Bjornte (talk) 10:38, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
