Not too many, but I would think that it means: Forerunner, and the Forerunner use it as some kind of 'stamp' that they put onto installations that they've created. I would believe that minor outposts (Bllod Gultch, Avalanch, ect) wouldn't have these, for reasons I can't think of.

Again, small numbers. It is found on switches in Relic and Containment. My theory about it not being in small outposts is consistant here.

Shouldn't this be renamed to "Forerunner glyphs"? The characters in the books seem to refer to these symbols as glyphs most of the time.--'''''<span style="color:green">Commander</span>''''' [[User:Halofan1234|<span style="color:cyan">光环的家伙1234</span>]] '''''[[User talk:Halofan1234|<span style="color:purple">Talk</span>]]''''' ''([[Special:Contributions/Halofan1234|<span style="color:gold">Contribs</span>]])'' '''([[Special:Editcount/Halofan1234|<span style"color:cyan">Edits</span>]])''' 19:09, 19 November 2011 (EST)

What about the glyphs we see at the end of each Terminal in Combat Evolved Anniversary? The same ones used in Halo Waypoint's Terminal unlocker. They were also featured in Halo Wars. The fact that these symbols have appeared on Forerunner technology and are seen at the end of 343i's terminal logs, it is evident that they are forerunner in origin. These glyphs should be added here.--[[User talk:Xzan Tamasee|Xzan Tamasee]] 01:17, 18 December 2011 (EST)

[[File:Halo-ForerunnerLanguage.jpg|right|200px|thumb|No idea where to put this...]]


I have no idea where to put this [[:File:Halo-ForerunnerLanguage.jpg|particular image]] of the Forerunner written language, but since it is considered to be canon, and therefore important, it should be put somewhere in the article. I mean, I can start a new subsection, but there lies the problem: While I know what image to start it off, I have no idea what to write about it. I suppose one could make mention of some of the Forerunner dialects, but of the written language, still drawing a blank. Some help would be much appreciated. --'''''[[User:Xamikaze330|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Halo;">Xamikaze330</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Xamikaze330|<font color="Blue">Transmission</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|<font color="Green">Commencing</font>]]''''']</small> 15:50, 12 October 2013 (EDT)Xamikaze330
