Tropes that are about pictograms (shapes, symbols, runes, glyphs, insignias, icons, and signs), either about specific ones, or using them in general.

Now even though these tropes can include symbolism, there has to be an actual picture symbol involved to count.

Compare to {{Motifs}}, GeometryTropes, and {{Symbolism}}.
