This is a very important #UX lesson: Even though, symbols/icons may appear universal to a large Western user base, but this might not apply to the whole world
Now, even Western Gen Z/Alpha probably only knows floppy disks from this icon, so there also might come a shift where people are like "I always confuse the 'send by email' and the 'save¹' button. I wish there was memory hook to remember these unintuitive, almost random pictograms"
