Semiotics is the study of the actions of signs and how we interpret signs, what they signify is usually arbitrary but people belonging to different cultures may interpret a particular cultural sign differently. Iconic and arbitrary, arbitrary could be a word or illustration of something that is made to look like a depiction of the real thing, the real thing being iconic because everyone is familiar with the real thing.
Prince poppycock, he is a iconic sign!
manga of prince poppycock, this is a arbitrary sign.
