Is there a legend for layer icons?

Figma Icon Explainer needed - #2 by tank666.

@tank666 Thanks, that’s helpful. The info linked to that is a little out of date and doesn’t list all of the icons but it does help.

I really wish Figma had an up-to-date legend that they maintained.

Thanks for the question!

Layer icons are now documented in these articles in Figma Learn, our help center:

​@Matty_Williams - This is an odd one that I haven’t seen before. In every other context that I’ve come across, the outside corners on the layer symbol indicate that the layer is absolutely positioned within an autolayout. However, you can see in the screenshot that both images are nested in non-autolayout frames. I haven’t been able to determine any difference between the top image that has the symbol with the outside corners and the the bottom image with the normal image symbol. The fill properties are the same. The constraints are the same. Other than the layer symbols, they appear identical.

I inherited this file, so I don’t have any idea about how it got to this state.

I’d also like to echo what others have said: it would be really helpful if there was a *comprehensive* reference for layer symbols.
