    I think my sense kinda weird to see the meaning of this symbols:
    SMN = Wizard Hat
    SCH = Ancient Chinese Minister's Hat

    I never had any problem identifying the summoner icon, but I would concede that, up to now, all I ever saw in the scholar icon were tusks as well.

    I always figured that since the weapons were the same between the two, the icons were their respective hats.

    This. I always assumed it was a mortarboard and horn, respectively.

    ditto.

    I always assumed that the SCH icon was a mortarboard instead of glasses or a book

    I always though it looked like a scale as well.
    Not that that would make any real sense for the job, but that is what I thought it was.


    EDIT: Looks like the people on the JP forum are wondering the same thing... and a Dev answered!

    Sorry for the double (and not to mention necro) post, but a Japanese Dev was kind enough to list all the job icons on their Lore forums:
