| | The last evidence of the writing system is a rock inscription from the island of Philae, dating from Aug. 24, 394, from the reign of the emperor Theodosius I. The language as well as the writing system of the Egyptian Christians is called Coptic. | | | The writing of this late period was distinguished from the cryptograms in that this script, like every normal system of writing, developed a fixed tradition, being intended not to conceal but to be read easily, whereas the cryptography strove for originality. | | | The prerequisite of every writing system is a basic standardization, but such a standardization is not equivalent to a canon (an established body of rules and principles) in the degree of stylistic conformity that it requires. |

| | Nor does the direction of writing (and reading) matter; vertical or horizontal, all writing systems are primarily bilinear (two lines). | | | Within the ancient writing systems, the width of the minim is the measure for horizontal movement; the height of the 'o' (ayin in Hebrew and Aramaic fonts) is the measure for vertical movement. | | | Ancient writing systems are phonetically based; their primary purpose is to record speech, the words as spoken along with all those components that identify the text as *that* text. |

| | Simplified Spelling Society : Japanese writing system. |
| | It appears that the Japanese themselves probably made the decisions at this time regarding modifications to their writing system, and that such changes were not imposed on them by the Occupation Forces, as has been suggested. | | | Following the defeat of 1945, the Japanese nation was receptive to change in various areas relating to daily life, including the writing system. | | | Apart from the sheer number of Chinese characters in use and the complexity of shape of many of them, another source of difficulty with the prewar writing system had been the fact that a given character often had a large number of words or morphemes (conventionally known as 'readings') associated with it. |

One of the earliest examples of the technique is the 18th century French novel The Nun, by Denis Diderot. | | | The work of art (be it a text, a moving image, a comic book or whatever) usually is composed of or includes some piece of forgery. |

| | The false writing system appears modelled on ordinary Western-style writing systems (left-to-right writing in rows; an alphabet with uppercase and lowercase, and probably contains a separate set of symbols for writing numerals) but is much more curvilinear. | | | The number system used for numbering the pages, however, has been cracked by a Bulgarian linguist, Ivan Derzhanski. | | | The illustrations are often surreal parodies of things in our world: bleeding fruit; a plant that grows into roughly the shape of a chair and is subsequently made into one; a lovemaking couple that metamorphoses into a crocodile; etc. |

| | Also, this writing system was much easier to use with pens, brushes and paper, which is part of the reason it was adapted as the main Chinese calligraphy method. | | | Writing systems may be regarded as complete according to the extent to which they are able to represent all that may be expressed in the spoken language. | | | For example, in the Latin-based writing system of standard contemporary English, examples of graphemes include the majuscule and minuscule forms of the twenty-six letters of the alphabet (corresponding to various phonemes), marks of punctuation (mostly non-phonemic), and a few other symbols such as those for numerals (logograms for numbers). |
