Blissymbols

Common card · No. 321409

Blissymbols or Blissymbolics is a constructed language conceived as an ideographic writing system called Semantography consisting of several hundred basic symbols, each representing a concept, which can be composed together to generate new symbols that represent new concepts. Blissymbols differ from most of the world's major writing systems in that the characters do not correspond at all to the sounds of any spoken language. Semantography was published by Charles K. Bliss in 1949 and found use in the education of people with communication difficulties.
