distinguish Graphene Writing systems sidebar A grapheme is the smallest semantically distinguishing unit in a orthography written language , analogous to the phoneme s of spoken languages. A grapheme may or may not carry meaning by itself, and may or may not correspond to a single phoneme. Graphemes include letter alphabet alphabetic letters , typographic ligature s, Chinese characters , numerical digit s, punctuation marks, and other individual symbols of any of the world s writing system s. The word grapheme is derived from Ancient Greek Greek gr ph write , and the suffix eme , by analogy with phoneme and other names of emic unit s. The study of graphemes is called graphemics .

HebrewText image The combining grapheme joiner CGJ , unichar 034F combining grapheme joiner html is a Unicode character that has no visible glyph and is default ignorable by applications. Its name is a misnomer which does not describe the function of this character. Despite its name, it does not join graphemes. http unicode.org notes tn27 Its purpose is to separate characters that should not be considered Digraph orthography digraphs . For example, in a Hungarian language context, adjoining characters c and s would normally be considered equivalent to the Cs digraph cs digraph . If they are separated by the CGJ, they will be considered as two separate graphemes. It is also needed for complex scripts . For example, in most cases the Hebrew cantillation accent Metheg is supposed to appear to the left of the niqqud vowel point and by default most display systems will render it like this even if it is typed before the vowel. But in some words in Biblical Hebrew the Metheg appears to the right of the vowel, and to tell the display engine to render it properly on the right, CGJ must be typed between the Metheg and the vowel.

Grapheme color synesthesia is a form of synesthesia in which an individual s perception of numbers and letters is associated with the experience of colors. Like all forms of synesthesia, grapheme color synesthesia is involuntary, consistent, and memorable. Grapheme color synesthesia is one of the most common forms of synesthesia, and because of the extensive knowledge of the visual system , one of the most studied.

Many of them are still used today for modern South Asian languages. All these scripts use such characters as base grapheme s, from which the syllable s are built up.

A morphogram is the representation of a morpheme by a grapheme based solely on its meaning. Kanji and hanja Fact date January 2009 are two writing systems that make use of morphograms , where Chinese characters were borrowed to represent native morphemes because of their meanings. Thus, a single character can represent a variety of morphemes which originally all had the same meaning. An example of this in Japanese would be the grapheme east , which can be read as higashi or azuma , in addition to its logographic representation of the morpheme t . Additionally, in Japanese, the logographic Chinese derived reading is called the on , and the morphographic reading native Japanese is called the kun . See also Logogram References Smith, J.S. 1996 .

unreferenced date September 2011 The European Voynich Alphabet , or EVA was created by Ren Zandbergen and Gabriel Landini in 1998 as a system to transcribe the various grapheme s letters which make up the text of the Voynich manuscript into Latin alphabet Roman characters. With EVA, every Voynich sign is represented by a roughly similar looking letter of the Latin alphabet. For example, the Voynich symbol Image letrapv.gif is assigned to the Roman character p . Thus, the Voynich Manuscript can be translated into a computer readable form which allows for ready statistical analysis frequency of individual letters, relationships of letters to each other, etc. . As a side effect, EVA transcription makes it possible to discuss strings of the Voynich text via email or on the World Wide Web Web . Image Voynich EVA.png thumb center 750px EVA European Voynich Alphabet . Capital and minor EVA letters denote different versions of what is considered the same ciphertext letter. One of the aspects in the choice of which Voynich grapheme should be represented by which letter, was readability of the transcribed words. It is possible to read the better part of EVA transcribed text aloud, as the transcription results typically in strings like qocheedy daiin . It is unclear in how far the fact that this is possible at all points to features of the hypothesised underlying source language or enciphering mechanism. Since the Voynich manuscript alphabet is unknown, it s often questionable whether two differing symbols actually describe two different graphemes, or whether they are only variants of the same grapheme . EVA has been attacked on this grounds as discarding subtle grapheme details which may be relevant to understanding the text. Other criticism focused on the fact that for the sake of readability, visual similarity has been lost. This means that the Latin letters chosen don t always resemble their Voynich counterparts visually, and thus are more difficult to memorize. There are ... more details
