Blissymbolics makes use of core symbols (Bliss-characters), many of which are intuitive and pictographic. They can be arranged to produce Bliss-words that can represent complex and abstract, yet easy-to-understand meanings. There are around 100 basic symbols, which can be combined endlessly to form new concepts. Nouns can be changed into verbs or adjectives with the addition of an indicator, and there are also simple past and future tenses. Bliss has simple, elegant, logically based rules, that make it ideal as a non-phonetically based language.
The International Panel is a working group within BCI. The object of the group is to develop Blissymbolics so that the vocabulary grows and its high standard is maintained. A broad international representation on the panel is needed to ensure that each new Bliss-word is built on the core meaning of a concept.
