May be possibly, we need the full sentence, or tell us what you are thinking about representing.

depending on the context "depicts" or another word may be better.

You could say “convey a message” although it would be great if you marked what it is all about and wrote a more complete of the version of what you wanted to say.

It (third person) represents something
To represent (infinitive) a thing/person

No. The symbol is in the third person neutral (it). So it represents something.
