By the way, "grapheme" is just a word that means written symbol for
language representation. It's a pretty standard term; keeps you from
having to write awkward sentences like..."Chinese characters, Egyptian
hieroglyphs, letters of an alphabet or syllabic symbols or Signwritng
symbols (whew!) stand for...."

It was just a cootie that crept in from my linguistic
training--sorry---but since he's here, we may as well harness him and put
him to work, huh? :-)
