RE: Mobile Application Accessibility Handbook

Kim, et al,

This document has an interesting interpretation of 1.3.3 on page 20. 

They show that an icon of an arrow pointing to the right is not sufficient for instructing users of the next step in the process.

Their interpretation follows my assertion that 1.3.3 does in fact also cover icons as instructions in and of themselves and not just a written instruction that states “select the green arrow”. 

This does tend to show that F26 has been interpreted by others around the world to be part of 1.3.3 which I have been told is not a correctly placed failure.

F26: Failure of Success Criterion 1.3.3 due to using a graphical symbol alone to convey information

Any thoughts on this?

I came across this handbook from the Hong Kong Government on Mobile 
Application Accessibility - which I think we should add to our list of 
useful resources.
