The writing system in which each symbol represents a single basic sound is known as a phonetic alphabet. Examples include the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), which represents all possible sounds in human speech, and the Latin alphabet, used in English and many other languages, where letters correspond to specific phonemes. Other phonetic writing systems, like Hangul for Korean, also adhere to this principle. These systems contrast with logographic systems, where symbols represent words or morphemes rather than individual sounds.
In the Mayan writing system each symbol represents words and pictures, where as our writing system just shows words.
I know the Inca did not have a writing system, but they did have a speaking language/system. I do not know about the Mayas and the Aztecs. I am researching them.
A writing system is composed of symbols or characters that represent sounds, words, or concepts in a language. It typically includes alphabets (which represent individual sounds), syllabaries (which represent syllables), and logograms (which represent words or morphemes). Writing systems can be phonetic, where symbols correspond to phonemes, or ideographic, where symbols convey ideas or concepts. Examples include the Latin alphabet, Chinese characters, and the Devanagari script.
An abugida is a writing system in which each symbol represents a consonant with a particular vowel.
An example of a phonetic writing system is the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The IPA is designed to represent the sounds of spoken language, allowing for accurate transcription of speech from any language. Each symbol corresponds to a specific sound, or phoneme, making it a valuable tool for linguists, language learners, and speech therapists.

Kanji characters. Kanji characters are logographic characters that represent whole words or ideas in the Japanese writing system.
Symbols in my writing system are used to represent specific sounds or concepts. Each symbol has a unique meaning that helps convey information in a succinct and standardized way. These symbols are combined to form words and sentences, allowing for effective communication through written language.
Nuclide writing is a notation system used to represent a specific nuclide of an element. It includes the chemical symbol, atomic number, and mass number of the nuclide. This notation is helpful for identifying different isotopes of an element.
Baha'is often use a nine-pointed star or flower to represent the number nine which is the highest single digit, therefore it is a symbol of unity. The letters of Baha add up to nine in the abjad system, so 9 also symbolizes Baha'u'llah, just as a fish symbolizes Christ.

The symbol used to represent seconds is "s." This abbreviation is part of the International System of Units (SI) and is commonly used in scientific and everyday contexts to denote time.
A logographic writing system uses characters to represent words or meaningful units, while a phonographic writing system uses symbols to represent sounds or phonemes. In a logographic system, each character carries meaning, while in a phonographic system, characters represent the sounds of speech. Examples of logographic systems include Chinese characters, while examples of phonographic systems include the Latin alphabet.
