Blissymbols

Sample of Blissymbols Here I show a brief sample of "Blissymbols", the writing system devised by Charles K. Bliss in the 1940's. The symbols here follow the proportions set by Michael Everson in his 1998 encoding proposal, yet I have slightly modified a small number of symbols so they fit a regular frame of 25 x 25 pixels.
