WHAT DOES SIGNARY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

signary

Writing system

A writing system is an organized, regular method of information storage and transfer for the communication of messages in a language by visually encoding and decoding with a set of signs or symbols, both known generally as characters. These characters, often including letters and numbers, are usually recorded onto a durable medium such as paper or electronic storage/display, although non-durable methods may also be used, such as writing in sand or skywriting. The general attributes of writing systems can be placed into broad categories such as alphabets, syllabaries, or logographies. Any particular system can have attributes of more than one category. In the alphabetic category, there is a standard set of letters of consonants and vowels that encode based on the general principle that the letters represent phonemes of the spoken language. A syllabary typically correlates a symbol to a syllable. In a logography, each character represents a word, morpheme or semantic unit. Other categories include abjads and abugidas, also called alphasyllabaries. A system's category can often be determined just by identifying the number of symbols used within the system.
