Are you asking about symbols used in ancient writing?
If you are, an example is hieroglyphics (don't trust me that I spelled that right).
Hope I helped you!
thanks!!
There was also cuneiform writing.

And today there are various alphabets and symbol systems. Ours (in modern day English) is referred to as the Roman alphabet although ours has a couple of letters the Romans didn't have.

and there are many others.
Our modern English alphabet has 26 pairs of symbols for letters (sounds) and ten symbols for numbers.
