Technically, they are ISOTYPE or PICTOGRAMS.
Take it from a graphic designer.
Most of these started to appear around the 1950s in switzerland, where there were three major spoken languages. Public signage needed to be quickly and easily understood by everyone. The result was the birth of these commonly used Icons. In addition to Isotype, the typeface HELVETICA also came out of this period.
Look up Otto Neurath
