Heiroglyphics - Tumblr Posts

ok I guess this blog of mine is swiftly becoming "neat and silly things I'd like on a t-shirt". Medjed!

tis the season to remember Medjed aka The Smiter, an invisible egyptian deity with laser eyes and nonbinary swagger:

rotating them gently in my mind as they do a spiffy little dance number

Fun fact: Hieroglyphs are a logographic system, where each character represents a word, although in some cases, two characters could join together to form a single word, like for Turquoise, which is represented with a man and a pig next to each other.

Logographic systems nowadays are systems such as Chinese Hanzi, Japanese Kanji, etc.

Emojis could also be considered Logographic, since they tend to represent a single word, rather than a sentence or a letter. i.e: 🤧 represents "sick" but it has the contextual meaning of "I am sick."

In the examples given by OP, this too, is a logographic system, though rather limited in vocabulary.

Also I think it's a shame we have an emoji of a bow and arrow, but not one of just an arrow or just a bow.

aspec are so cool bcs aro - 🏹, ace - 🃏, apl - 🍎 we got hieroglyphs!!
