Icon
From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape
Icons are symbols on a player's map (minimap or world map) representing certain buildings and locations.
[edit] World map icon key
The world map key is on the lower left side and when clicked, displays a grey list of icons. In this list is an icon for specific locations in the game. Click on any of the entries in the key list and yellow circles will flash in the world map indicating where that building or location can be found. Icons in dungeons will not appear on the world map. The list has 3 pages as listed below:
