24:10

24:13 · An ideogram once used in some computer contexts, meaning symbol has been found. The ideogram is a combination of for see, and for one entity or something definite or absolute, placed within the circle of unlimited possibilities. Note that here is combined with in such a way that it becomes 06:12, the exclamation mark, meaning that's it, thus denoting that the seeing is finished, that the search is over.
    Henry Dreyfuss (see bibliography) presented these and a large number of other ideograms from the world of early computer processing in his 1972 work Symbol Sourcebook. Most of them have not been included in this dictionary because the use of them was never well established.
