1 .
A sacred character ;
a character used in picture writing ,
as of the ancient Egyptians ,
Mexicans ,
etc .
Specifically ,
in the plural ,
the picture writing of the ancient Egyptian priests .
It is made up of three ,
or ,
as some say ,
four classes of characters :
first ,
the hieroglyphic proper ,
or figurative ,
in which the representation of the object conveys the idea of the object itself ;
second ,
the ideographic ,
consisting of symbols representing ideas ,
not sounds ,
as an ostrich feather is a symbol of truth ;
third ,
the phonetic ,
consisting of symbols employed as syllables of a word ,
or as letters of the alphabet ,
having a certain sound ,
as a hawk represented the vowel a .
[
1913 Webster ]
2 .
Any character or figure which has ,
or is supposed to have ,
a hidden or mysterious significance ;
hence ,
any unintelligible or illegible character or mark . [
