   1. A letter, character, or mark used to represent a

      [1913 Webster]

            Phonograms are of three kinds: (1) Verbal signs,
            which stand for entire words; (2) Syllabic signs,
            which stand for the articulations of which words are
            composed; (3) Alphabetic signs, or letters, which
            represent the elementary sounds into which the
            syllable can be resolved.             --I. Taylor
                                                  (The
                                                  Alphabet).
      [1913 Webster]
