Glyph - Other Uses

Other Uses

• In the mobile text input technologies, Glyph is a family of text input methods based on the decomposition of letters into basic shapes.
• In role-playing games, the word glyph is sometimes used alongside the word "rune" in describing magical drawings or etchings. Runes often refer to placing the image on an object or person to empower it, whereas the magic in a glyph lies dormant and is only triggered when the glyph is read or approached.
