What do each of the Visual Studio Code Intellisense Icons mean?

What do all the icons represent when viewing the options IntelliSense provides? IntelliSense isn't the only place we would see these icons, but I'm using it as an example in the hope that someone can identify these icons, and explain what they mean.
