Context:
"Das Erläuterungssymbol zeigt an, dass diese globale Quelle von einem Profil benutzt wird. Wenn Sie die Maus über das Symbol halten, wird das Profil angegeben."
The "Erläuterungssymbol" is actually a pale yellow speech bubble like a tooltip containing a question mark. What would a good word for that be? "Query icon" doesn't seem right, despit the presence of the question mark.
