ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Glyph

Okay kiddo, a glyph is like a special picture or symbol that is used to represent a certain thing. It's kind of like how you can use emojis on your phone to show your feelings or actions.

But glyphs can be a lot more complicated because they are used in writing different languages like Chinese, Arabic, or even English. In fact, every letter in the alphabet is a type of glyph!

So, imagine that each letter you write is a tiny picture, and when you put them together, they make words and sentences that we can read. Cool, huh?
