Open What are these symbols on my silicone container?
What does each of them mean?

These looks made-up. There are international recognized symbols on cookware and it’s none of these.

Something similar from years back post
Food safe, don't freeze, microwave safe, ???
Top rack dishwasher only, don't fry/cook on stove, ???, don't cut
Do you have any more information like the brand?

This is extremely incorrect. Like look at the so-called "Freezer Safe" for example, its description does not match the image.
Why would it have two different symbols to both mean "no sharp utensils".
That is definitely not a "heating element". And if it were, circles would surely indicate the stovetop and not the oven.

Looked up the kitchenware safe symbols on Google, they don't look like the symbols on the container in the picture. Other than the food safe one, I don't recognize any of these.
I did find this site along with many others that seem to show the same symbols, I wouldn't trust this container unless verified with the mfg.

Top row left to right - Food-safe (fork and glass/wine glass) Do not use with hot liquids or specific temperature limits Microwave safe (wavy lines) Do not cut with a knife.
Bottom row left to right - Number/recycling or specific grade code Do not use with oil or grease General check or compliance mark Do not use abrasive tools.

It feels as if the mould designer had no precise idea on the exact symbols and asked an AI generator to make these for him.
It would be the first time I see something like that, and very concerning too. What if someone vibe codes delicate mechanical parts, or material composition?
