Semiotics is the study of signs and symbols and what they interpret.
I was deeply engaged when I found out signs have more than one implied meaning. This was due to the fact that people refer to signs as just one meaning.
A sign is the smallest unit of meaning that is used to communicate in which has two concepts that create it. A signifier is a material in which signifies meaning. Things such as words on a page on a page signify the sign and is the physical form of the sign but is distinct form the meaning. The concept of the signified is that of which the signifier refers to. Both the signifier and the signified make up the sign.
