We have the impression that they used hieroglyphs to write sentences with drawings for humans, animals, plants, and furniture in an ideographic manner. However, they used several letters often as sonographic ones, especially in their recent ages. Out of such letters, a part of uniliterals for one consonant are brailled as following:
| Code / Name | Glyph | Sound | Braille | NABCC | Code / Name | Glyph | Sound | Braille | NABCC |
| G1 | | a | O- -- -- |

Some letters are assigned differently in order to put in the range of A to T of the normal alphabet braille. This is for simplifying brailling the biliterals mentioned later.
For the uniliterals below which are not brailled by the table above, brailles are generated from other signs with the distinctive signs, etc. mentioned later. The sounds of them are regarded same as ones in the table above.
| Code / Name | Glyph | Sound | Regarded same as | Glyph |

| V28 | | h | h | |
| Twisted thread | ||||

| Belly and tail of animal | ||||

Although they are not uniliterals, brailles of one sign are assigned to the two glyphs below which are often used.
| Code / Name | Glyph | Sound | Braille | NABCC | Code / Name | Glyph | Sound | Braille | NABCC |
| A1 | | - | -O -O O- |
> | B1 | | - | -O -- OO |
