Why would you have such a thing? When you communicate, you know the receivers' culture, isn't it? Otherwise wouldn't it be a rather infrequent symbol with less practical use than e.g. "incomplete infinity"?

Do you? All I know about the readers of this post is that they either know how to read English, use some translation service or won't understand much of what I was writing.

But even when you do know exactly who you're addressing, they might be a very diverse group.

This is not about any message, this is about an icon signifying "party". In your argumentation: they might not even know what a party is! That's how useless such an icon would be.
