Why hamburger icon is semantically correct?

The hamburger icon is easily scaleable and it fits cleanly into a pixel grid. It was originally a list icon that has been press-ganged into its current role, but since a menu is simply a list of options, it's semantically correct to use the list item in this way.

Why are the 3 dots called hamburger?

The hamburger button (the triple bar ≡ or trigram symbol ☰), so named for its unintentional resemblance to a hamburger, is a button typically placed in a top corner of a graphical user interface.

How do you use a hamburger icon?

You will find it in the form of an icon with three horizontal lines at the top corner of the screen on apps and responsive websites. Once you click that icon, it will reveal hidden navigation with menu options that will grant you direct access to their respective pages.
