Both signs and symbols are graphical presentations but people often use them interchangeably.
The main difference between the two is that a sign is a language on its own and it is used to communicate something to people. It is broader term and symbol comes under it.
The language is made up of signs. Many signs often have a universal meaning that is shared by people from various backgrounds. In fact, as Saussure says sign is the central fact of language.
A symbol is a something that is accepted by certain group of people or general population. It can be interpreted differently by people from different backgrounds.
