Alchemical symbols, originally devised as part of alchemy, were used to denote some elements and some compounds until the 18th century. Note that while notation like this was mostly standardized, style and symbol varied between alchemists.
|

This block includes alchemical symbols - images of substances, processes, measurement measures and various chemical elements.
|

|
||||
What is alchemy? It's an early form of natural science studying the properties of matter and their transformation. Alchemists sought to discover the "philosopher's stone", which, according to their ideas, could turn ordinary metals into gold and possessed immortal properties.

Alchemical symbols were used to denote chemical elements and compounds until the 18th century. The design of the symbols was largely standardized, however, the symbols themselves and the style could vary.

How can alchemical symbols be used today?

These symbols are commonly used in mathematical equations and notations, particularly in the Arabic-speaking world. Here are some of the most common ones:
|
||||
|
||||
[*]أ (alef): represents a variable or an unknown quantity in an equation.
|
||||
[*]ب (baa): a constant or a coefficient.
|

[*]ح (haa'): a differential equation.
|
||||
[*]ط (taa'): a Fourier transform.
|
||||
[*]ي (yaa'): an imaginary number or a complex number.
|
||||
|
||||
It's worth noting that these symbols are not universally used in all Arabic-speaking countries, and there may be some regional variations. Additionally, many of these symbols have multiple meanings depending on the context in which they are applied.

The categories contain 36 symbols numbered from 1 to 9. Each symbol has its own unique design and is used in the game to build certain combinations and sequences.

Mende is the language of the Mende people spoken in Sierra Leone and Liberia. It belongs to the Mande family along with Looma, Loko, Bandi, Zialo and several isolated Kpelle — to the southwestern subbranch of the western branch of this family. It is widely used in southern Sierra Leone as a lingua franca (along with English and Krio). The number of native speakers of Mende was estimated in 1991 at about 1,480,000.
|

The Mende language has its own peculiarities:
|

[*] the structure of the syllable CV(n),
|

[*] the two-syllability of the root,
|

[*] the presence of prenasalized consonants,

[*] developed system of initial alternation of consonants.
|

This section contains figures that were used in Ottoman Siyaq - an Arabic script that was used in the Ottoman Empire.
|
||||
|
||||
It is a calligraphic style that involves the use of additional marks and diacritics to represent vowels and other phonetic features that are not present in the basic Arabic script. These additional marks were necessary to accurately represent the Turkish language, which has a different phonology than Arabic. The Ottoman Siyaq was widely used in official documents, correspondence, and literature during the Ottoman Empire, but it was gradually replaced by the Latin-based Turkish alphabet after the founding of the Republic of Turkey in 1923.
|
||||
|
||||
Siyaq is the name of the decimal positional number system, which is common in Central and South Asia. The main feature of this system is that it has separate symbols for ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands. Plus, you won't find a "zero" number.

What comes to semantics, the word "siyak" itself means order in the Arabic language.
