Symbolic icons should never use words to convey their meaning. Some of us are dyslexic, some of us don’t speak the language, some of us are blind as shit, etc.
Labels composed of letters to form otherwise meaningful words, it’s still not a great option in terms of user accessibility. If even a couple of icons used similar words/ letters as their iconography, then suddenly it becomes an irritating nightmare just trying to identify which is which without breaking the flow of what your doing. If anything, a simple S would be acceptable, but that brings its own problems
A box with CTRL-S printed on it
(CMD-S for Mac users)

Tbf those aren’t words, they’re the labels of 2 keyboard keys

I was joking anyway. People who need the icon more often than not probably don’t know the keyboard shortcut
