    Looking at my browser, the only literal icon is a home representing home page. "Back" and "Forward" are simple arrows, without any attempt to show previous web pages overlapping behind them. Reload is a partial loop with an arrow. Cancel is an X. Similarly on my phone, the menu button is two lines in a box and the back/cancel button is a hooked arrow. Why should save be represented by a picture of a thing, and not a simple symbol?
