The letter CH is a digraph consisting of the sequence of Latin alphabet graphemes C and H, however it is a single phoneme and represents a single entity, equal to other letters of the Czech alphabet. It comes between H and I. Thus, the word "Chemie" (Chemistry) comes after "Fyzika" (Physics) in an alphabetical list. Names beginning with "Ch" are listed in the same way in a phonebook. In a crossword it takes only one square.
The sign-maker who made the casino sign above, applied the Czech grammar rules to a foreign word – in this case C and H should be treated as separate letters. The same error could be found on other signs containing CH, the most prevalent being – EXCHANGE.
Prague, Czech Republic.

Colour Maps are often used by Synesthetes to show which colours they associate with each of the various graphemes. This particular map is the result of cross referencing fifteen Synesthetes and selecting the most common colour and shades for each of the twenty six letters and ten numerical digits.
The overall image was achieved by photographing each grapheme individually before then post-producing and merging them all together into a single map.

Description of the work
The artist chose the “daleth,” a Phoenician triangular grapheme that also means “door,” to pay tribute to the Lebanese community in Montreal. This letter, which brings together several elements with strong symbolic potential, allows him to permanently inscribe in a public place very frequented by this community, Marcelin-Wilson Park, the memory of the first Lebanese arrivals in Montreal.
In the form of an open pyramid integrated into a layout made of plants, a path and granite slabs, Daleth presents three paintings. On one side, a road in perspective points towards the top of this triangular mountain where the cedar, emblem of Lebanon, triumphs. This path is the symbol of the traveling trade that occupied the first Lebanese arrivals as much as the door allowing the meeting of diverse cultures that constitutes immigration. On the second side, three oars emerging from the granite structure recall the history of the Phoenicians, ancestors of the Lebanese, who engaged in the trade of cedar wood by boat. On the last side are inscribed the 22 Phoenician graphemes, the first alphabet invented by this people.
Mihalcean’s work is understood as a profusion of symbols that ultimately gives rise to the viewer’s personal appropriation of the meaning of the work. Thus, by including various key elements of Lebanese culture and its history, Daleth offers several perspectives through which to commemorate the first contingent from Lebanon to arrive in the region.

Synesthesia is a neurologically-based phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. In one common form of synesthesia, known as grapheme → color synesthesia, letters or numbers are perceived as inherently colored, while in ordinal linguistic personification, numbers, days of the week and months of the year evoke personalities. In spatial-sequence, or number form synesthesia, numbers, months of the year, and/or days of the week elicit precise locations in space (for example, 1980 may be "farther away" than 1990), or may have a (three-dimensional) view of a year as a map (clockwise or counterclockwise).
there's a little bit of education for the day. :)
On another note, I particularly like this picture, Samantha is such a beautiful girl and she is equally as awesome :)
Kongōrikishi are usually a pair of figures that stand under a separate temple entrance gate usually called Niōmon (仁王門) in Japan. The right statue is called Misshaku Kongō (密迹金剛) and has his mouth open, representing the vocalization of the first grapheme of Sanskrit Devanāgarī (अ) which is pronounced "a". The left statue is called Naraen Kongō (那羅延金剛) and has his mouth closed, representing the vocalization of the last grapheme of Devanāgarī (ह [ɦ]) which is pronounced "ɦūṃ" (हूँ). These two characters together (a-hūṃ/a-un) symbolize the birth and death of all things. (Men are supposedly born speaking the "a" sound with mouths open and die speaking an "ɦūṃ" and mouths closed.) / Naruko Tenjin Shrine (成子天神社), founded in 903 according to legend, is a Shinto shrine located near the skyscraper district. This shrine is dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane (845 - 903), a politician and scholar who is widely worshiped in Japan as a god of learning. Though the shrine complex is a post-war reconstruction made with concrete, the shrine is neatly maintained like a garden. Hand pump is located in front of Sui Jingu, a small shrine enshrining a divinity of water. Fuji-zuka is a mound which was created to worship Mt Fuji. It is covered with lava rock conveyed from the foot of the mountain. The Shrine is located through an alley off Ome-kaido Avenue, across the street from Tokyo University Hospital / Shinjuku (新宿区Shinjuku-ku) is a special ward in Tokyo, Japan. Like the other special wards of Tokyo, Shinjuku has a status equivalent to that of a city. It is a major commercial and administrative centre, housing the northern half of the busiest railway station in the world (Shinjuku Station) and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, the administration centre for the government of Tokyo. Since the end of World War II, Shinjuku has been a major secondary center of Tokyo, rivaling to the original city center in Marunouchi and Ginza.
Found this at the thriftshop and was intrigued by the graphemes & ligatures of the custom typeface. Turns out this book is part of an educational series (popular in the 1960s) known as the Initial Teaching Alphabet which uses a phonemic alphabet.

Dvarapala (Sanskrit) is a door or gate guardian statue (either human or demonic) in Hinduism and Buddhism. They were traditionally placed outside Hindu or Buddhist temples and other structures to protect the holy places inside. Dvarapala is usually portrayed as a fierce-looking creature.
This is Garbhavira, the guardian of the Garbhadhatu Mandala (Mandala of the Womb World) who symbolizes the power it expresses of overt violence. He is placed on the right (east) of the mountain gate of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore with his mouth open, with the shape necessary to form the “ah” sound, and bares his teeth, representing the vocalization of the first grapheme of Sanskrit Devanāgarī (अ) which is pronounced “a”, which symbolizes the beginning of life.
He holds in his left hand a vajra mallet or “vajra-pāṇi” (a diamond club, thunderbolt stick, or sun symbol) i.e. a long staff with varja thunderbolt at each end. His right hand is lowered with fingers outspread.

Codex Assemanianus, Macedonia, 10-11th century.
The Glagolitic alphabet (play /ɡlæɡəˈlɪtɪk/), also known as Glagolitsa, (OCS: The Church Slavonic name of the Glagolitic script on Glagolitic.svg, Кѷрїлловица) is the oldest known Slavic alphabet. The name was not coined until many centuries after its creation, and comes from the Old Slavic glagolъ "utterance" (also the origin of the Slavic name for the letter G). The verb glagoliti means "to speak". It has been conjectured that the name glagolitsa developed in Croatia around the 14th century and was derived from the word glagolity, applied to adherents of the liturgy in Slavonic.
The name Glagolitic in Belarusian is глаголіца (hłaholica), Bulgarian, Macedonian and Russian глаголица (glagolica), Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian glagoljica / глагољица, Czech hlaholice, Polish głagolica, Slovene glagolica, Slovak hlaholika, and Ukrainian глаголиця (hlaholyća).
The creation of the characters is popularly attributed to Saints Cyril and Methodius, who may have created them in order to facilitate the introduction of Christianity.] It is believed that the original letters have been fitted to the original Macedonian Slavic.
The number of letters in the original Glagolitic alphabet is not known, but may have been close to its presumed Greek model. The 41 letters we know today include letters for non-Greek sounds which may have been added by Saint Cyril, as well as ligatures added in the 12th century under the influence of Cyrillic, as Glagolitic lost its dominance. In later centuries the number of letters drops dramatically, to fewer than 30 in modern Croatian and Czech recensions of the Church Slavic language. Twenty-four of the 41 original Glagolitic letters (see table below) probably derive from graphemes of the medieval cursive Greek small alphabet, but have been given an ornamental design.
The source of the other consonantal letters is unknown. If they were added by Cyril, it is likely that they were taken from an alphabet used for Christian scripture. It is frequently proposed that the letters sha Ⱎ, tsi Ⱌ, and cherv Ⱍ were taken from the letters shin ש and tsadi צ of the Hebrew alphabet, and that Ⰶ zhivete derives from Coptic janja Ϫ.[citation needed] However, Cubberley (1996) suggests that if a single prototype were presumed, that the most likely source would be Armenian. Other proposals include the Samaritan alphabet, which Cyril learned during his journey to the Khazars in Cherson.
Glagolitic letters were also used as numbers, similarly to Cyrillic numerals. Unlike Cyrillic numerals, which inherited their numeric value from the corresponding Greek letter (see Greek numerals), Glagolitic letters were assigned values based on their native alphabetic order. (Wikipedia)
