Symbol 24:20

2419

24:20 · A modern ideogram for information or tourist information, often presented white in a green square. The sign is, however, mostly presented slightly asymmetrical, like 3614. Semiotically it is a combination of 1001c for one entity, something absolute and unique, a fact, placed beneath 2601a for all possibilities. Semiotically: All possibilities prevail, but should you need an informative fact or two, then this is the place. Compare with the similar structure 0611b, the exclamation mark, which expresses the absolute predominating with a point for concentration under it: This is absolute! This is serious!
