The term "glyph has several meanings across different cultures. In archaeology, a glyph is a written or inscribed symbol like the hieroglyphics of ancient Egypt. In other words, a glyph is a pictogram that conveys a particular object or action with a picture where the mark is intended to invoke an idea.

However, In typography, a glyph is an elemental symbol within an agreed set of stamps designed to represent a readable character for writing.
