Which, according to St. Jerome and others, is symbolic of the choice between doing the right thing and doing the wrong thing.

If it is, it has yet to be confirmed. I don't remember it being associated with the Glyph language, and it isn't anywhere on the wiki page. I will archive binge to make sure.

Waaargh...

I just did a speed-archive binge... And also took a zoomed-in look at the "Rosetta Screen". Didn't find any symbols that matched Tina's eyes.
So, as far as I'm concerned, I have no friggin' idea what the darn fancy "Y" means.

Aaand and there's a new comic.

Nope. The upper arms curve down to below the junction point. On most pages it looks more like a Tau than an Upsilon, as the lower line of the upper arms curve but gently.

I'm surprised at the objections. Having once seen it as a stylized womb (like Egyptian hieroglyph F45a), I doubt I can ever again see it as anything else. But okay, I could still be wrong. :-\

From Sidhekin's post on Heiroglyph Unicode -- Clipped from the PDF:

Agree that Bia's symbol is the 13131 glyph and not the one above it (F45 Uterus), though it may be a variation of that base symbol.

S'mores, anybody?

I like the female lion head - 13101

All this talk about the glyph in Tina's eyes, and we've all forgotten that we've seen eyes like that before.

Okay, freaking out just a smidge here...
