And it sometime appears that almost every icon system 
is its own special snowflake, unique more for its creator&#x27;s
convenience, with more creativity than reusability.<p>The result is more like having dozens or hundreds of different
dialects of Esperanto - each system intends to be rational and
useful, but the overall effect on users of multiple icon systems is more like cacophony than expressive consistency.<p>OTOH, the core challenge of using text labels is finding texts
that work and are meaningful and reasonably consistent 
across dozens of written natural languages.
