Meaning of icons in HPROF Viewer in Android Studio

Question

From time to time I use the Memory Monitor and HPROF Viewer in Android Studio to check for any memory leaks and memory usage in general.

I believe I know the meaning of most symbols and colours used in the Viewer, but I would like to be sure and not just have my own understanding of them. I haven't found any explanations on web, but I'm sure the answers to my questions are pretty straight forward.

What do the follwing symbols in the reference three mean?

2:

3:

4:

5:

What does it mean when the font colour of the instance is blue, red, bold or italic ?

Sometimes the symbols 1, 2 and 3 can be combined in the same instance. Does that mean something special?
