In this process flow, we have
A question mark on the top right corner of the icon image.
This indicates the presence of a prompt.
A brown triangle on the top left corner of the icon image.
This indicates a runtime warning.
A red circle and a cross on the top left corner of the icon image.
This indicates a runtime error.
A curved arrow pointing to 1 o'clock on the bottom left corner of the icon image.
This indicates an external link. A black triangle would indicate embedded code.
A red circle on the bottom right corner of the icon image.
This seems to be part of the icon itself, like the globe for HTML output icon? What a poor design choice!
A flag to the top right corner of the icon's text area.
This indicates a condition (yet untested as nothing has run).
The flag can change to a tick or a cross, which indicates a successful or a failed condition.
A number to the bottom right corner of the icon's text area.
What is this?
Is there a glossary of these symbols somewhere?
When you right-click on a program object then choose Condition > Add.... then a number is assigned to that object which appears to represent the sequence in which the condition was added.

To note while we are looking for an icon glossary: Here are the ODS output icons for destinations
CSV, HTML, PDF, RTF, Word, Powerpoint, Excel, XML, EPub.
ODS PCL does not update the process flow.
When you right-click on a program object then choose Condition > Add.... then a number is assigned to that object which appears to represent the sequence in which the condition was added.

Thanks Bill. Your replying is much appreciated.
Do you know if there is a use for these numbers?
I can;t imagine how surfacing the order when condions are added can be useful?
