The TypeScript textbook by Basarat Ali Syed describes symbols as follows:
The symbol class is defined in the TypeScript source code as follows:
function Symbol(this: Symbol, flags: SymbolFlags, name: __String) {
this.flags = flags;
this.escapedName = name;
this.declarations = undefined;
this.valueDeclaration = undefined;
this.id = undefined;
this.mergeId = undefined;
this.parent = undefined; }
A symbol contains a reference to the declarations of a type and some flags that help us to identify some of its characteristics.
