Rebus is different. In a rebus, actual pictures take the place of words like:
[eye] [heart] [ewe] where each word in brackets is replaced by a picture, is a rebus for "I love you".

That's one example of a rebus. The definition of a rebus that I'm aware of allows you to use either pictures or symbols (letters count as symbols) to construct phrases. But in present day rebuses, a broader set of tricks seem to be allowed.

See:

http://kids.niehs.nih.gov/braintpics.htm

Andre, I was going for "missing you" but that's close enough.
