billifer commented on the word semion
A sign, signal, etc. Related to the word semiotics. A semion is the basic unit of semiotics, indivisible and the smallest piece of information that can be encoded. It is analogous to the words meme, morpheme, grapheme, phoneme, and atom within other contexts of communication and linguistics.
