Sign & Symbol: SUBMITTED BY-Sumit Kumar

Signs and symbols are commonly used in everyday situations such as road signs, information signs, engineering symbols, and circuit diagrams. A sign can be described as an indicator or clue, while a symbol expresses something abstract through objects, gestures, or actions. Symbols have the power to produce reactions in people. There are also differences between signs and symbols - signs point to something concrete like traffic rules while symbols represent ideas that are difficult to express in words. Architectural structures like pyramids, the Parthenon, Taj Mahal, and Sydney Opera House have also become cultural symbols through their designs and histories.
