A pictogram, also called pictograph, or simply picto, and also an 'icon', is an ideogram that convey its meaning through its pictorial resemblance to a physical object.
Pictography is a form of writing which uses representational, pictorial drawings, similarly to cuneiform and, to some extent, hieroglyphic writing, which also uses drawings as phonetic letters or determinative rhymes.
