I can’t remember how I came across it, but it probably was during my conlang noodling for the Red Dwarf Esperanto entry earlier. Blissymbolics is a pictoral artifical language that was created by Charles Kasiel Bliss [1897-1985] in 1949. He was imprisoned in 1938 in Dachau and later in Buchenwald for being Jewish. In 1939, he was deported from Germany. After passing through England, he ended up in Shanghai, and after the war he settled in Australia. He left his papers to the national Library there. I’d like to find a copy of his book: Semantography (Blissymbolics): A Simple System of 100 Logical Pictorial Symbols, Which Can Be Operated and Read Like 1 + 2 = 3 in All Languages.
