  Symbol - Free Encyclopedia of Thelema
A symbol can be a material object whose shape or origin is related, by nature or convention, to the thing it represents: for instance, the cross is the main symbol of Christianity, and the scepter is a traditional symbol of royal power.
More often, a symbol is a conventional written or printed sign (specifically, a glyph), usually standing for anything other than a sound (symbols for sounds are usually called graphemes, letters, logograms, diacritics, etc.).
The discipline of semiotics studies symbols and symbol systems in general; semantics is specifically concerned with the main meaning of words.

 Star Sapphire Common LISP Reference Manual--Symbols
That is, writing the name of a symbol serves as a way to access a fixed memory location which is assigned by the compiler; this location is used to store a value, which is what the symbol evaluates to in an expression.
Because property-list functions are given the symbol and not the list itself, modifications to the property list can be recorded by storing back into the property-list cell of the symbol; you are assured of not damaging a given symbols' property list.
Symbols at the start of a list which is not quoted will become a function, a special form or a macro; such symbols are translated by the compiler (canonicalizer) into an index into an internal table which uniquely identifies the functional object needed to evalate this list.

 The 12dicts Word Lists
The other list, the 2of12 list, is more inclusive in that it includes words listed in as few as two of the source dictionaries, but less inclusive in that it excludes items of various sorts, including multiword phrases, proper names and abbreviations.
Unlike the 6of12 and 2of12 lists, this list is not based exclusively on the contents of my 12 source dictionaries, and for this reason it has, I feel, less authority than the other classic 12dicts lists.
Because these two lists have the same rules for the kinds of words included, one could easily combine the two to produce a slightly larger list including a number of words whose omission from 6of12 is rather surprising.

 AIGA - Symbol signs
This system of 50 symbol signs was designed for use at the crossroads of modern life: in airports and other transportation hubs and at large international events.

A first set of 34 symbols was published in 1974, and received one of the first Presidential Design Awards; 16 more symbols were added in 1979.
