How do you represent "Inactive" with an icon? Keep in mind that said
icon must resemble a character or so of text (monochrome, composed of
lines) :-). Plus there is the technical difficulty of recoloring the
icon so that it is an effective preview.
Though... in a sense you could say I am already doing that, using the
"icons" 'a', 'i', '!', '=' and '+' for active, inactive, negative,
neutral and positive (respectively).
Besides for ideographic languages it is clearly best to simply use the
appropriate ideograph :-).
