This is amazing, we evolved the alphabet from pictograms to highly stylized characters to letters and now we're going full circle by incorporating emojis such as 🐂 that thousands of years earlier became "a" and 🐟 that became "d"
@szbalint
is it really that the alphabet was an evolution or that greeks just didn't get wth some of those phoenician letters were supposed to be so they assumed alef must be a, etc.? it's not like an abjad is any harder to read than etymological spelling. and pictograms saved a lot of time for Egyptians and Sumerians; they could use them to quickly write a word OR to spell a word without a pictogram
@szbalint
OK maybe I'm overthinking this
