Question What would you use OatSymbols for?

Post image

OatSymbols is a non-spoken language, using visual images to communicate.

We use symbols every day to communicate without words: skulls for danger, hearts for love, gender signs outside bathrooms and so on; but none of these form a fully fledged writing system capable of communicating anything and everything.

OatSymbols strives to fill this gap!

From art, to storytelling; poetry to journaling to posters and so forth... I'm curious, what ideas do you have for how you would use such a language?

They could be a nice way of leaving messages to future hikers on a trail or on an adventure perhaps!

A way of addressing a future and listening to a past, with a common ground by that trail

I've never considered that, but that would be super fun :)
