Interface has been applied to human communication and represented via tablet or smart phone. It is necessary to do research with satisfied interface. This study combines with interface, interaction, cognition and special education fields and focuses on the preference of symbol represented form and status. It contains eomticons and core vocabulary two parts and discusses with normal and Aphasia users. The two parts adapt both quantitative and qualitative methods, and the purpose is to analyze the representation form and status for communication interface design to improve the communication quality. The emoticon study classifieds eomticons as forms (abstract/geometric, personification, and concrete) and status (animation and static) to construct a investigation. The quantitative investigation revealed that when the form of an emoticon shifted from abstract/geometric to personification and subsequently concrete, the status of the emoticon deemed suitable by the users also shifted from static to animated. Furthermore, the qualitative focus group discussion unexpectedly contributed that the participants used particular emoticon forms and status in accordance with the timing/intimacy and targets of their conversations. The core vocabulary study concentrated on Augmentative and Alternative Communication single-meaning symbols, and it classified the vocabularies as people related nouns, object nouns, verbs and adjectives (incl. adverbs) to discuss represented form (photographs and line drawings) and status. From the perspective of representation form, the results showed that all the preference of nouns is high with photograph nouns and the preference of part verbs/adjectives is high with illustration form. Meanwhile, from the perspective of status, static nouns are preferred. The abstract level of concepts determined the status of verbs and adjectives. When the abstract level is higher and the static preference is higher. The preference results are almost shared with both normal and Aphasia adults. In addition, it is founded from Aphasia interviewers that symbol visual elements of figurative objects, human faces, objective emotion and interactions expressions would contribute personal confidence and pleasure. Moreover, Aphasia interviewers also prefer verbs which contain cause-effect relation concepts to be represented with supplemented lines. This study focused on certain high frequency vocabularies and it would include more vocabularies, color and culture factors in the future studies. In addition, animated symbols would be classified with more dynamic levels to discuss user cognition, fluency of reading and the preference. The results could contribute to symbol designers as interface guidelines.
