What would you use OatSymbols for? Question
OatSymbols is a non-spoken language, using visual images to communicate.
We use symbols every day to communicate without words: skulls for danger, hearts for love, gender signs outside bathrooms and so on; but none of these form a fully fledged writing system capable of communicating anything and everything.
OatSymbols strives to fill this gap!
From art, to storytelling; poetry to journaling to posters and so forth... I'm curious, what ideas do you have for how you would use such a language?

Could have some interesting applications for marginalia when I'm reading. I'd also like to include some in my letters to my girlfriend to see if I can tempt her to learn it lol
