The Symbian Script, Letter for Letter

This chart lists fully each sym and it's characteristics. The first line starts with the standard arrangement for a sym, closely set with a typical example of that sym. Next there is sapien equivalent character for the sym from the Unicode Standard. This is followed by the actual HTML or Unicode for that character. Next there is the short hand name for the sym. Each sym represents one sound and an example is given, lastly followed by the Symcode. For Symbian punctuation, see below.

Symbian Script Punctuation

Symbians also use punctuation much the same as sapiens do. The below chart lays out the standand sym for each punctuation mark as well as a common rendering of the mark and an example of its use along with the marks SymCode. Often Symbians use punctuation differently, see below for notes.

Notes
[1] The symbols 1k 2k 3k 4k 0k are used for recurring decimals. Due to Symbian math, 1/2 is 0.222... repeating for infinity. Because 1/2 is such a commonly used concept, the character 2k was devised as shorthand, the other digits soon followed. Please note the usage 0k . 3k 4k denoting 0.343434... recurring to infinity.
[2] The quotation symbols of “ and “ are always used to surround spoken text, such as example “ h iy . “ . Often sapiens will use non directional quotation marks, or two of the same directional marks, such as "Hi." This syntax is never seen as passable in Symbian grammar.
[3] The mark % does not denote "percent" as per sapien usage. 12% denotes a fractional amount of 12/100 base 10. 1 2 % denotes 12/1000 base 5. So 50% is 2 2 2 . 2k % and 20% is 4 0 %.
