Yes they did have a system of writing
The Phoenicians invented an alphabetic writing system that greatly simplified record keeping. This system used a set of symbols to represent individual sounds, making it more efficient than the complex cuneiform or hieroglyphic systems. Their alphabet enabled easier transcription of trade transactions, laws, and communication, which facilitated commerce and administration across their trade networks. This innovation laid the groundwork for many modern alphabets used today.
