Editing Logogram (section)

== Universal logograms ==
Not all logograms are associated with one specific language, and some are not associated with any language at all. The [[ampersand]] is a logogram in the Latin script,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ampersand {{!}} Origins, Meaning, & Usage {{!}} Britannica |url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/ampersand |access-date=2025-05-07 |website=www.britannica.com |language=en}}</ref> a combination of the letters "e" and "t." In Latin, "et" translates to "and," and the ampersand is still used to represent this word today, however, it does so in a variety of languages, being a representative of morphemes "and," "y," or "en," if they are a speaker of English, Spanish, or Dutch, respectively.

Outside of any script is [[Unicode]], a compilation of characters of various meanings. They state their intention to build the standard to include every character from every language.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Diana |title=Overview |url=https://home.unicode.org/basic-info/overview/ |access-date=2025-05-07 |website=Unicode |language=en-US}}</ref> It's the generally accepted standard for computer character encoding, but others, like [[ASCII]] and [[Baudot code|Baudot]], exist and serve various purposes in digital communication. Many logograms in these databases are ubiquitous, and are used on the Internet by users worldwide.
