>Words_vs_Symbols Yes and No. I agree with that it might be true for alphabets. But when it comes to things like ancient Egyption hieroglyphs or Kanji, the boundary is quite blurry.

>Words_vs_Symbols Words mean signs in languages. Symbols are a type of signs. Those are not mutually exclusive. That is the point of later Wittgenstein.

Symbols and words are not mutually exclusive, but most of the limitations of words are not present in the world of visual symbols. Symbols do not require definitions the same way language does. In this way, symbols retain a more fluid and somewhat immortal way of being.
