> We're best off using ISO icons Hm, first time seeing this and not getting any good results. Here are the results for "save" https://i.imgur.com/UC4H3jE.png h

  The first one is "to indicate the entered data is saved" and it's been registered since 2004. I think it's more in the context of forms and less about saving a modified file. Never seen it before either.

  If you enter "data" instead, you'll get the full context of the only one of those four which is applicable. I could quibble with some details of how these icons are designed, but I like that read and write point in the same directions as the carets in Unix redirects. That leaves up for "make data leave this device and go elsewhere", with down for "make a local copy of this data", aka upload and download. I must confess, however, if I saw the ISO icons in the wild, I wouldn't understand them. This is while already being aware of their existence.

  Yeah, their browser sucks. I have a few collections that I downloaded, that have software-relevant ones.

  icon #6177 was bewildering. Apparently it is for "use on equipment" in the "eltrotechnical" domain. Without too much of a stretch of imagination, I can see a graph on an oscilloscope there, but why for 'save' and not for 'print' or selecting the time domain in a multi-function device?
