History The first writing systems were either logographic or syllabic —for example, Chinese and Mayan script —which do not necessarily require punctuation, especially spacing.
Many people with dyslexia have auditory processing problems, and may develop their own logographic cues to compensate for this type of deficit.
In places where logographic languages are used, such as China, a visual Internet slang exists, giving characters dual meanings, one direct and one implied.
Because all languages have a very large number of words, no purely logographic scripts are known to exist.
However, such phonetic elements complement the logographic elements, rather than vice versa.
In these writing systems, a variety of strategies were employed in the design of logographic symbols.
