Note
A regular plural, made with a plain -s, and one spelling serves every meaning of the singular. Context does the sorting: painted panels of saints and scenes from Scripture, small pictures on a screen, people who best embody a profession, or signs whose form mirrors what they stand for, which is why every onomatopoeic word is one. Online, profile pictures are informally called icons too.
