-Not to be confused with [[icon]]s. Previously, symbols have been a mostly abstract concept in Dwarf Fortress, defined as part of the language system, and occasionally referred to in [[Thoughts_and_preferences#Physical_description|descriptions]]. v50 of the game has introduced some new, and occasionally interrelated features regarding this term.

+'''Symbol''' may refer to:
-==Fortress Mode==
+* [[Names_and_symbols#Symbols|Group symbol]], a text description of an image representing your fortress or another group
-===Nobles and administrators===
+* [[Symbol of office]], an object equipped by someone holding an administrative or noble position
-[[Image:Menu_nobles-and-administrators_symbols_v50.07.png|300px|thumb|right|The position symbol selection menu]]
+* [[Symbols (menu)]], a tab in the Objects menu {{menu icon|O}} in Fortress mode.
+* [[Squad symbol]], an image associated with a squad that can be selected via a graphical interface
+* [[Language#language_SYM.txt|Language symbol]]s, used for defining categories of words
-In this menu {{menu icon|n}}, by clicking on the crown+ icon next to a relevant position, available objects in your fortress can be made into a symbol of a [[noble|noble or administrative]] position. If multiple objects are assigned to a position or a [[Citizenship|citizen]] is assigned to more than one position with an assigned symbol, they will try and equip them all.

+* [[Icon]]
-When a new object is assigned as a symbol, unless it is already an [[artifact]] or [[named object]], you will have the opportunity to choose a custom name for the object or accept the default name generated by the game.
-===Objects===
-====Symbols====
-This tab of the Objects menu {{menu icon|O}}, lists all objects currently assigned as symbols in your fortress:

-===Squad===
-[[Image:Menu_squad_symbol_v50.07.png|300px|thumb|right|The squad symbol selection menu]]
-Not to be confused with objects that are a symbol of office, the squad menu {{menu icon|q}} allows you to edit the graphical [[icon]] symbol assigned to any created squads.
-==Legends Mode==
-As in [[fortress mode]], during [[worldgen]] (and [[world activities]]{{verify}} certain [[item]]s, usually (always?){{verify}} [[artifact]]s can also be made into the symbol of a group's administrative position. Below is an example from [[legends mode]]:
-[[Image:Legends_artifact_symbol_v50.07_01.png|800px|The squad symbol selection menu]]
-==Language==
-In the context of [[language]], symbols are entirely separate to symbol 'objects' in fortress mode.
-The game has a list of symbols, defined in [[Language_SYM.txt]]. This defines which words are related to that symbol, and can consequently be used by civilizations that have that symbol token defined in their entity object. The game will associate those words with generated descriptions about that civilization, or groups, sites and special items created by that civilization.{{verify}}
