Language of Symbols

Every day, you read a language you were never formally taught. From app interfaces to airport gates, icons tell us where to go, what to do, and how to feel-all without a single word. The Language of Symbols decodes this silent system of meaning, revealing how the tiniest visual cues guide modern life. Written for designers, technologists, and anyone curious about how communication works in the digital age, this book blends design history, linguistics, and psychology to show how symbols became the true global tongue. Far from abstract theory, The Language of Symbols celebrates the practical beauty of icons their clarity, universality, and power to cross borders faster than words ever could.
