All signs are different and convey a different meaning, Icon symbols mean it resembles something else, such as a map because it resembles what the map is of.
Index symbols is something that has been caused by something else, an exmaple of this is smoke as it is caused by a fire or bonfire.
Lastly, arbitrary ( learnt ) this could mean handshakes between people but what the symbol means, a handshake could imply friendliness or respect between people, Or the dollar sign symbolises American money.
