## Summary

Framework output for the Material Symbols 4K Resolution icon in the sharp style.

## Interpretation

Visible referent: 4K resolution label. Intended message: The icon must communicate 4K Resolution in a digital interface. This Material Symbols asset uses the Sharp style in default interface contexts.

## Diagnostic

Assessing the communicative effectiveness of the 4K Resolution icon

This reviewed catalog report estimates clarity for 4K Resolution in default interface contexts. Scores are screening estimates and do not replace user testing.

## Findings

- Primary referent: 4K resolution label.
- Implied function: The icon must communicate 4K Resolution in a digital interface..
- Metaphor type: abstract.
- Functional meaning: The icon must communicate 4K Resolution in a digital interface..
- PCS total: 0.56.
- The visible mark is a compact alphanumeric code; reading the characters does not prove transfer to the intended technical meaning.
- Neighbor-code confusion needs explicit testing when adjacent codes can share the same visual family.
- The sign behaves as a learned convention rather than a transparent pictogram.

## Recommendations

- Keep a visible label for compact numeric codes unless tested users distinguish the code family reliably.
- Run forced-choice testing against neighboring codes and require the exact intended state, not just character recognition.
- Test object-to-action transfer with neurodivergent participants.
- Validate whether users learn the convention or infer the action directly.
- Run representative user testing before publication.
