Superfluity of graphemes ( letters or characters ) is often an issue in spelling reform, which prompts the " Economic Argument "— significant cost savings in the production materials over time — as promulgated by George Bernard Shaw, although in modern times with computer systems changing rapidly and equipped to produce the scripts of a variety of languages this is now a bit far-fetched.

The principal types of graphemes are logograms, which represent words or morphemes ( for example, Chinese characters, or the ampersand & representing the English word and ; also Arabic numerals ); syllabic characters, representing syllables ( as in Japanese kana ); and alphabetic letters, corresponding roughly to phonemes ( see next section ).

Instead of using ligatures, a minuscule E was placed above the letters A and O to create new graphemes.
The reform aimed to systematise the correspondence between sounds ( phonemes ) and letters ( graphemes ), and to strengthen the principle that derived forms should follow the spelling of the root form.
In an ideal phonemic orthography, there would be a complete one-to-one correspondence ( bijection ) between the graphemes ( letters ) and the phonemes of the language, and each phoneme would invariably be represented by its corresponding grapheme.
In some language orthographies, like that of Croatian ( lj, nj, dž ), traditional Spanish ( ch, ll, rr ) or Czech ( ch ), digraphs are considered individual letters, meaning that they have their own place in the alphabet, in the standard orthography, and cannot be separated into their constituent graphemes ; e. g.: when sorting, abbreviating or hyphenating.
His initial studies focused on grapheme → color synesthesia, in which viewing black and white letters or numbers ( collectively referred to as graphemes ) on a page evokes the experience of seeing colors.

graphemes and characters
Like other character encodings, ASCII specifies a correspondence between digital bit patterns and character symbols ( i. e. graphemes and control characters ).
Logographic writing systems, notably Japanese and Chinese characters, have graphemes that are not linked directly to their pronunciation, which pose a different type of dyslexic difficulty.
Unicode, in intent, encodes the underlying characters — graphemes and grapheme-like units — rather than the variant glyphs ( renderings ) for such characters.
Both types of documents consist, at a fundamental level, of characters, which are graphemes and grapheme-like units, independent of how they manifest in computer storage systems and networks.
Unicode's definition supplements this with explanatory notes that encourage the reader to differentiate between characters, graphemes, and glyphs, among other things.
While Unicode typically assigns characters to code points to express the graphemes within a system of writing, the Unicode standard ( section 3. 4 D7 ) does caution:
However, this quote refers to the fact that some graphemes are composed of several characters.
In addition, Unicode also assigns some code points to a small number ( other than for compatibility reasons ) of formatting characters, whitespace characters, and other abstract characters that are not graphemes, but instead used to control the breaks between lines, words, graphemes and grapheme clusters.
With the unified Han ideographs, the Unicode standard makes a departure from prior practices in assigning abstract characters not as graphemes, but according to the underlying meaning of the grapheme: what linguists sometimes call sememes.
Unicode assigns abstract characters ( graphemes ), as opposed to glyphs, which are a particular visual representations of a character in a specific typeface.
These characters are, however, much less useful in graphical user interfaces, and rather than alternate graphic the key is today used to produce alternate graphemes.

Strictly speaking, the letter ⟨ g ⟩ is not present in other scripts, but the sound it represents is present in many world languages, and is represented by many different graphemes.
The study of graphemes is called graphemics.
It is a particular graphical representation, in a particular typeface, of an element of written language, which could be a grapheme, or part of a grapheme, or sometimes several graphemes in combination ( a composed glyph ).
In typography and computing, the range of graphemes is broader than in a written language in other ways too: a typographical font often has to cope with a range of different languages each of which contribute their own graphemes, and it may also be required to print other symbols such as dingbats.
Orthography is largely concerned with matters of spelling, and in particular the relationship between phonemes and graphemes in a language.
( Another similar convention is the use of angle brackets to enclose the units of orthography, namely graphemes ; for example, ⟨ f ⟩ represents the written letter ( grapheme ) f .)
Phonics is a method for teaching reading and writing the English language by developing learners ’ phonemic awareness — the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate phonemes — in order to teach the correspondence between these sounds and the spelling patterns ( graphemes ) that represent them.
English uses a 26 letter Latin alphabet, but the number of graphemes is expanded by several digraphs, trigraphs, and tetragraphs, while the letter " q " is not used as a grapheme by itself, only in the digraph " qu ".
The main difference between logograms and other writing systems is that the graphemes aren't linked directly to their pronunciation.
For Unihan the same thing is done whenever the abstract meaning changes, however rather than speaking of the abstract meaning of a grapheme ( the letter " a "), the unification of Han ideographs assigns a new code point for each different meaning — even if that meaning is expressed by distinct graphemes in different languages.
Much of the controversy surrounding Han unification is based on the distinction between glyphs, as defined in Unicode, and the related but distinct idea of graphemes.
A phonemic orthography is an orthography ( system for writing a language ) in which the graphemes ( written symbols ) correspond to the phonemes ( significant spoken sounds ) of the language.
