iconic format

An iconic format refers to a way of organizing or representing information visually through icons—small graphical symbols that suggest an idea or function. Instead of text, icons convey meaning quickly and intuitively, making interfaces more user-friendly and accessible. For example, a trash bin icon often indicates deleting or removing something. Iconic formats are used in software, websites, and signs to streamline communication, reduce space, and improve user experience by providing clear, universally recognizable symbols. This format relies on visual language to efficiently transmit information across diverse audiences.
