About Glyph

“Glyph” entered English from the French word “glyphe,” which was based on the Greek “γλυφή” (“gluphḗ,” meaning “carving”).

Did you Know?

The glyphs most people are familiar with are hieroglyphs, systems of pictorial writing associated with ancient civilizations, such as the Maya and the Egyptians. However, in the modern world, “glyph” can describe any pictorial symbol used to communicate. For example, corporate logos are glyphs, as are many public signs to indicate the locations of restrooms, restaurants, gas stations, and hospitals. Glyphs can be used in a variety of ways, such as during the earliest days of Wi-Fi technology, when some users would chalk glyphs on the sidewalk near Wi-Fi hot spots to help other users identify locations where they could access the internet.
