| Sep 29, 2013 at 19:00 | comment | added | whuber | These symbols are used to represent arbitrary quantities, not just "discrete numbers of phenomena." Like most symbols used in cartography, they have been binned into discrete classes, but that does not change the nature of the variable being represented. | |

| Sep 28, 2013 at 15:43 | comment | added | Andy W | I would call them glyphs, but I'm not sure if that is a standardized terminology. See citeulike.org/user/apwheele/article/12238640, and citeulike.org/user/apwheele/article/11627768 for examples. A variety of examples can be found in MacEachren's How Maps Work, and some notable ones are from the work of Dan Carr and William Cleveland (and pie charts from Minard!) It is similar to the ISOTYPE like graphing symbols as well. | |
