The uncial version of Upsilon

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.

If I'm not back in a few days, call Search and Rescue.

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...

Somebody remembered; it's been mentioned.

And I even remember reading that post now.
