This is a nice collection.
If you are making software, I implore you to do a quick and simple test if you plan on using icons: show them to some users and ask if they would know what they mean. There is a significant chance the icons are meaningless. Yes, context helps, yes, merely communicating difference helps, but, for the most part, nobody knows what any of these things mean.
Relying on icons alone is never entirely without risk, no matter how conventional the icon. if you Value accessibility don’t substitute text for imagery. Use imagery to provide a visual anchor for text.
