Rear Window Defrost
These are Rear Window Defrost Indicator symbols. It is seen in primarily in yellow/amber/orange when the rear window defroster is active as a reminder. In most cases, the defroster will turn itself off after a pre-set period of time.

The warning color (yellow/amber/orange) is used in case the defroster remains on too long, which can harm the system. The symbols match the image found on the defroster switch.
However, Rivian has chosen to add the red indicator telling the driver the defroster is on and a white version when it is turned off. The last one is truly, unimaginatively useless.
