To me it looks like neither you nor the designer have ever used an iron on their clothes. Every iron I have ever seen had one, two and three dot markings at the appropriate positions on the temperature dial.

Or does that just happen on European irons?

No that happens here (US) too. That’s what I was referring to when I said it “matches the icons on the iron itself” but it’s not a very clear sentence.

My iron does not have a temperature dial (it has digital controls) and none of the settings have any dots or anything that resembles the tag icons in any way.
