Icon
All ideograms, including bases and base overlay, are symbols
of some meaning.
So they can be used for icons in computing and maps. New icons also can
be rationally made
in the EL compounding system for logos and meanings.

Drawing pictures with EL ideograms
It is fun and easy to draw a picture with EL ideograms. You may enjoy
this way for your diary,
for a sketch in a postcard when you are traveling, for sending a message
to your friends,
and for graphic designs of advertising or image symbols for meditation.
Here you see a few examples.
A sketch:
On an edge of a peninsula covered
with trees (
), you (
) are standing.
The boat (
), which I (
) am on is floating

For a little card
:
