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,

and for graphic designs of advertising or image symbols for meditation. Here you see a few examples.

A sketch:

with trees ( ), you ( ) are standing.
The boat ( ), which I ( ) am on is floating
on the waves ( ), and
