[QUOTE="The Eidolon, post: 6331281, member: 102103"]Well, it will certainly be interesting to see if you are right. I'd love to learn what script they are from if they are from if it's from a real writing system. It's pretty much impossible for someone to rule out that they could be from a less-known real script somewhere. But I've learned a little about synthetic scripts as a hobby, and they don't ring a bell with me. Have you tried Unicode character recognition? [URL='https://shapecatcher.com']Here's one site[/URL] where you can draw a glyph and it will match it with multiple Unicode alphabets/scripts. It doesn't work with Chinese/Japanese characters, but there are other places where you can do character recognition for those, such as [URL='https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary']MBDG[/URL]. Anyway, your symbols aren't Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Khitan/Mongolian/Jurchen/Manchu. I tried a sloppy hiragana "あ" (a) as a test and it worked great. Tried some of the symbols on your bracelet with no promising hits so far. [ATTACH=full]1251004[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
