## Summary

Framework output for the Material Symbols Handheld Controller icon in the sharp style.

## Interpretation

Visible referent: handheld controller. Intended message: The icon must communicate Handheld Controller in a digital interface. This Material Symbols asset uses the Sharp style in default interface contexts.

## Diagnostic

Assessing the communicative effectiveness of the Handheld Controller icon

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

## Findings

- Primary referent: handheld controller.
- Implied function: The icon must communicate Handheld Controller in a digital interface..
- Metaphor type: functional.
- Functional meaning: The icon must communicate Handheld Controller in a digital interface..
- PCS total: 0.69.
- Weakest convergence axis: Collective Resonance.
- External evidence context (OpenAlex, 2004) links the case to symbol interpretation, meaning transfer, interface context; it does not replace user comprehension testing.

## Recommendations

- Run representative user testing before publication.
- Keep the text label visible until semantic transparency is proven.
- Keep visible label support when scores sit below strong clarity.
- Validate interpretation with representative users before high-risk release.
