Using qualitative descriptive techniques, this research aims to analyze the meaning of signs by applying semiotic theory to the form of icons, indices and symbols in the novel Bidadari Berbisa. Note-taking, reading, and documentation are used to collect data. Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic theory is used in this research to analyze the meaning of signs and determine what signs are included in it. Multi-iconic aspects, multi-index aspects, and multiple interpretations of signs in symbolic aspects are the results of this research. For example, symbols, indexes and icons in the novel Whispering Bidadari by Asma Nadia. For example, the sign "and how persuasion dreams are harder to lull young people, like Ayuni" has an index marked with persuasion, then the sentence "Gusti gives me guidance" has a symbol with the word gusti. And the sentence "The woman looked closely at the photo in her hand" has an icon marked with the words "photo".
