Symbols can be letters, pictures or designs. Letters N, E, S, W. are used to denote direction. A compass uses these letters to point the way to something or back to home. Indian symbols are included in this compass. Dolphins are included in this compass as legends of dolphins claim they help people in trouble find their way.
