You probably meant "sign" rather than "sigh." No — "token" does not mean "sigh." It often means a small thing that stands for or represents something else (so yes, in many uses it is closer to "symbol" or "sign").
Common meanings and examples:
- A symbolic object or gesture: "She gave him a ring as a token of her love." (token = symbol)
- A small coin, voucher, or marker: "Insert a token to ride the subway." (token = physical unit)
- In computing/programming: a unit of data such as a lexical token (identifier, number, operator) or an authentication token (a digital credential).
- In cryptocurrency/blockchains: a token is a digital asset or unit issued on a blockchain.
- In idioms: "token gesture" means a minimal or symbolic action meant to show intent.
If you tell me the context you saw the word in, I can give a more specific explanation.
