<div name="quoted-content">
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">There's arguably a distinction between symbols and pictographs, even if both signify the same concept.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"> </div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">This is different from the case two different sets of pictographs or two different sets of symbolic notation.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"> </div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Although, even in those cases it is useful to consider the question: can one of them be substituted for the other with the reader experiencing the choice as stylistic?<br/>

<div>Besides the simple typographic set of 12 zodiac characters there is a tradition of another set, consisting of pictographic symbols of the 12 zodiac signs, which also play a role in typography (~ 16th c. onwards)</div>
<div>Has this set been proposed for encoding at any time in the past?</div>
