When sucha graphical symbol cannot be developed, it might be necessary to present a graphical symbol togetherwith supplementary text explaining its meaning in the language of the intended users.NOTE 1 Alternatively, it could be necessary to inform people about the meaning of the graphical symbol byincluding its meaning in manuals, instructions, or training.NOTE 2 ISO 9186-2 specifies a method for testing the perceptual quality of graphical symbols by measuring theextent to which the elements of the graphical symbol can be correctly identified.
