Semasiography ('writing with signs', from Greek semasia 'signification' + graphia 'writing') is the use of written symbols to "communicate information without the necessary intercession of forms of speech". Individual semasiographic symbols are semasiographs. Contemporary systems like musical notation, mathematical notation, and emoji have been characterized as semasiographies. [1]
