I am searching for wording for symbols icons and what they are. For example, if you have a symbol such as flag, or types of cars. I want to look it up online and search for the name of that symbol. I know that there are tons of them online but what I would like to have a general thousands of symbols or icons and if you don't know what they are you can pull it up and look for it.

I know it is hard for me to describe. I am a GIS Specialist and sometimes I get a hardcopy maps and I have some odd symbols and I couldn't find it on my software to match it. So, when I google and I couldn't find it either...

You can also look at the Unicode character charts, specially at the block Miscellaneous Symbols and at the two blocks named Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs and Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs. The Emoji area can also be of interest to you.
