  • Abstract
    A communication medium using pictograms for use with media biotope is discussed, and the “Pict-script” concept is introduced. Pict-script is a language system using pictograms that features high flexibility, so it can be used for not only sequential expressions but also diagrammatic expressions, and high usability, so it can be used by people with disabilities, children, the elderly, and people in general. It can also indicate the user´s feelings directly, so it can promote communication. A communication system based on the concept of Pict-script is described, and the features of such a system are discussed.
