Egyptian writing was called hiroglyphs. It first had 700 symbols then rose to 6,000 symbols.
There are around 1,000 unique cuneiform symbols that were used in ancient Mesopotamia for writing various languages like Sumerian and Akkadian.
The Phoenician writing system is considered one of the earliest true alphabets, consisting of a set of symbols that represent individual sounds or phonemes. This system influenced many subsequent alphabets, including Greek and Latin, which also employ a phonetic approach. Unlike logographic systems, where symbols represent words or concepts, the Phoenician alphabet allowed for greater flexibility and efficiency in writing.
There are three writing systems in Japanese: kanji (characters borrowed from Chinese), hiragana, and katakana. There are over 2,000 commonly used kanji characters, along with 46 characters in both hiragana and katakana.
Cuneiform writing was used by ancient Mesopotamian civilizations and was characterized by wedge-shaped symbols pressed into clay tablets. Phoenician writing, on the other hand, evolved into the modern alphabet and was more linear and simplified compared to cuneiform. The Phoenician alphabet later became the basis for many other writing systems including Greek and Latin.

Korea has two primary writing systems: Hangul and Hanja. Hangul, the native alphabet, consists of 14 basic consonants and 10 basic vowels, which can be combined to form syllables, resulting in thousands of possible combinations. Hanja, derived from Chinese characters, includes thousands of symbols, but its usage in modern Korea is limited. Overall, while Hangul is used for everyday writing, Hanja provides additional meaning and nuance in specific contexts.
There are many symbols for Japan, such as their flag, the Nisshōki (sun-disc flag); the Kyokujitsu-ki (rising sun flag); the Go-Shichi no Kiri (government seal); the Cryptomeria; or the Chrysanthemum.
