ADA and Other Common Symbols as Free Web Graphics?

Hi all.

I've been reading a lot lately about both cognative disabilities, and one
idea I wanted to implement that would help many visitors with certaion (as
well as without any!) cognative disabilities would be to include common
symbols alongside related text and headers in my web sites.

I thought it would be easy to find symbols as web graphics/fonts available
for free on-line, but I'm having a lot of trouble. For instance, I was
looking for a nice, clean, no-strings-attached graphic of the international
TTD symbol. Does anyone know if there is a free, legal resource out there
for these types of icons? Otherwise, any good for-purchase web site would be
appreciated.

Thanks,
