Glyph

A glyph is a visual symbol or mark used in writing, design, or digital text to represent a specific idea, sound, or function. In typography, it refers to an individual character, such as a letter, number, or punctuation. In digital fonts and Unicode, glyphs are the graphical representations of characters, which can include stylized symbols, icons, or complex shapes. Essentially, a glyph is the visual manifestation of a character or symbol, allowing us to communicate information visually in various forms, whether in print, digital screens, or symbols used in different languages and systems.
