    SMN and SCH's class icon

    Sorry for the silly question, but I still can't describe the meaning of this Summoner and Scholar's class icon (mostly I know other class icon is from their weapon). So does anybody know what this two classes icon means?

    I'd never really questioned it until now, but I've always assumed that the SMN was a simplified horn and the SCH was simplified glasses.

    I'm gonna feel really silly if that's not the case...

    I always assumed the horn, but I thought the sch icon was an upside down open book... I can see the glasses now though.

    SMN is most certainly a horn. As for SCH it has similarities to both a book and spectacles; I think the latter is more likely given the more rounded shape.

    I'm going to cry if it's not a horn...

    SMM sees to be a horn

    as for Scholar I always assume it was a simplified Mortarboard cap as opposed to glasses or books.

    I've always thought the scholar symbol was meant to be a scale? Though it does look a bit like glasses, now that you mention it...

    I have seen the Scholar symbol somewhere else before, but I cannot recall now.

    The Summoner one looks like a sextant.
