Sep 20, 2015 at 23:02 comment added Papa Poule @MartinSmith By ellipting the definitions refering to the symbols used in ancient Egypt(Defs 1,2,& 4) (which I agree are often/usually perfectly recognizable), I was trying to direct attention to the more figurative, unclear or unreadable signs or writing, meaning of the word (Def 3 on Word Central & Defs 3&5 on Reverso/Collins). I agree with Mitch ‘s comment under the question & thought that maybe “hieroglyphic/al,” with “unclear/unreadable/indecipherable” built in (& relating specifically to signs/pictures) could address his concern.
