The ellipsis (...) is a series of dots that indicates an intentional omission of a word, sentence, or whole section from a text without altering its original meaning. The plural is ellipses. The term originates from the Ancient Greek "élleipsis" meaning "leave out'". The ellipsis is also called a suspension point, points of ellipsis, periods of ellipsis, or (colloquially) "dot-dot-dot". Depending on their context and placement in a sentence, ellipses can indicate an unfinished thought, a leading statement, a slight pause, an echoing voice, or a nervous or awkward silence.

The asterisk, from Late Latin asteriscus, from Ancient Greek ἀστερίσκος, asteriskos, "little star", is a typographical symbol. It is so called because it resembles a conventional image of a heraldic star. Computer scientists and mathematicians often vocalize it as star (as, for example, in the A* search algorithm or C*-algebra). In computer science, the asterisk is commonly used as a wildcard character, or to denote pointers, repetition, or multiplication.

Cancer, in astronomy, is a constellation that contains the well-known star cluster called Praesepe, or the Beehive. Its brightest star, Al Tarf (Arabic for “the end” [of one of the crab’s legs]), also called Beta Cancri, is quite dim, with a magnitude of 3.6. In astrology, Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiac, considered to govern the period from about June 22 to about July 22. Its representation as a crab (or lobster or crayfish) is related to the crab in Greek mythology that pinched Heracles while he was fighting the Lernaean hydra. Crushed by Heracles, the crab was rewarded by Heracles’ enemy, Hera, by being placed in the heavens.

The less-than sign is a mathematical symbol that denotes an inequality between two values. The widely adopted form of two equal-length strokes connecting in an acute angle at the left, <, has been found in documents dating as far back as the 1560s. In mathematical writing, the less-than sign is typically placed between two values being compared and signifies that the first number is less than the second number. Examples of typical usage include 1⁄2 < 1 and −2 < 0. Since the development of computer programming languages, the less-than sign and the greater-than sign have been repurposed for a range of uses and operations.

The small distinguishing mark you see over a lowercase i and a lowercase j is called a tittle—an interesting name that looks like a portmanteau (combination) of tiny and little, and refers to a small point or stroke in writing and printing. Generally, a diacritic dot such as a tittle is also referred to as a glyph, a mark that adds meaning to the written letter. However, in regards to i and j, the removal of the mark is still likely to be read as I or J; as such, these are not true examples of a glyph.

The Kansas City Chiefs logo is an arrowhead. The modern sign of a football club is simple in style and content. It lacks the elements that were used before 1972: no cowboys, no Indians, no sketchy maps. The main focus is on the red “KC” monogram located inside the geometric figure in an arrowhead’s shape. There is a reference to the culture of the indigenous people of America. The letters are outlined in irregular black outlines that give them a three-dimensional appearance. The white arrow also has a dark and wavy border.

With Rolex being as secretive about their things as they are, it is only natural that we would want to know what the Rolex crown itself means. Typically, it is believed to symbolise a human hand, or five tree branches topped with pearls. Either way, Rolex has neither confirmed nor denied any speculation about what the Rolex logo symbolises and these are probably unnecessarily complicated. We can, for certain, see how the Rolex logo has evolved through time on their watches, in their advertisements and their marketing material.

In typography, a bullet or bullet point, •, is a typographical symbol or glyph used to introduce items in a list. The bullet symbol may take any of a variety of shapes, such as circular, square, diamond, or arrow. Lists made with bullets are called bulleted lists. Bulleted items are not usually terminated with a full stop unless they are complete sentences. In some cases, however, the style guide for a given publication may call for every item except the last one in each bulleted list to be terminated with a semicolon, and the last item with a full stop.

Caret is the name used familiarly for the character ^, (the circumflex and a circumflex accent) provided on most QWERTY keyboards by typing ⇧ Shift+6. The symbol has a variety of uses in programming and mathematics. The name "caret" arose from its visual similarity to the original proofreader's caret, a mark used in proofreading to indicate where a punctuation mark, word, or phrase should be inserted into a document. The formal ASCII standard (X3.64.1977) calls it a "circumflex". The ^ symbol was originally provided in typewriters and computer printers so that circumflex accents could be overprinted on letters (as in ô or ŵ).

Roman numerals are a system of numerical notations created by the ancient Romans. They are an additive (and subtractive) system in which letters are used to denote certain "base" numbers, and arbitrary numbers are then denoted using combinations of symbols. For example, 6 in Roman numerals would be VI (V, which is 5, plus I, which is 1). However, Roman numerals are not a purely additive number system. In particular, instead of using four symbols to represent a 4 or 9 (i.e., IIII or VIIII), such numbers are denoted by preceding the symbol for 5 or 10 with a symbol indicating subtraction. For example, 4 is IV. In Roman numerals, X is 10, I is 1, and V is 5. So, XIV means 14.
