Why you have symbols?

Answer 1

I personally think that we have symbols for many reasons such as;

1. to simplify maths but putting symbol in places to represent things, like in algebra

2. to separate the world into country, county's and towns, like flags.

3.to represent different religions- like the cross for Christians, the 6 pointed star for the Jewish... etc

4. to show where certain places are, and to advertise things and places.

5. to brand a certain product so that no one else can copy the creatures ideas.

6. and finally to break the barrier between different languages.

but that is in my opinion, and I don't think its that reliable so... :)
