ISWA (2010) Detailed Location symbols

[Claudia S. Bianchini]

The term Glyphes comes from Pennacchi 2008

Pennacchi B. 2008. Mettere nero su bianco la LIS. In: C. Bagnara, S.

She decide to use "glyphes" because it meaning is only marginally
related to terms connected to vocal languages.
Because for "symbol" you have a lot of meanings (link in Pierce's
theory of iconicity) that give aspectations about what is the value of
a unit in SW. The same is for "caractère" or other words connected to
language theory.

By the way, if you use glyphs, you have to say that is not in a
informatical way that you use the term.
