Blissymbols Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Blissymbolics or Blissymbols is an ideographic writing system consisting of several hundred basic symbols, each representing a concept, which can be composed together to generate new symbols that represent new concepts. Blissymbols differ from all the world's major writing systems in that the characters do not directly correspond to the sounds of any spoken language.They were invented by Charles K. Bliss (1897-1985) after the Second World War. Bliss wanted to create an easy-to-learn international auxiliary language to allow communication between people who do not speak the same language. His utopian vision failed to gain popularity. Since the 1960s, Blissymbols have become popular as a method of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) for non-speaking people with cerebral palsy or other disorders, for whom it can be impossible to otherwise communicate with spoken language.
Bliss was inspired by Chinese ideograms, which Bliss became familiar with in Shanghai while a refugee from Nazi persecution.
