That's true, but then, a simple old dot-matrix makes a more

I think you have just made the point you were trying to avoid. You
need to learn to associate the pictogram with it's meaning. So it
matters not if it is one of a hundred unique visions of an obsolete
printer, a pair of parallel lines(which I've also seen) or the
sequence of mostly recognisable characters p, r, i, n, t, e and r.
