Pictogram Comparison,Medicine Man


Comparison of Ojibwa and Easter Island signs for medicine man have that correspondence to be expected when things common to all men are graphically represented. An ideogram or ideograph is a graphic symbol that represents an idea or concept,independent of any particular language,and specific words or phrases. Some ideograms are comprehensible only by familiarity with prior convention; others convey their meaning through pictorial resemblance to a physical object,and thus may also be referred to as pictograms. Pictography is a form of writing which uses representational,pictorial drawings,similarly to cuneiform and,to some extent,hieroglyphic writing,which also uses drawings as phonetic letters or determinative rhymes.
