style of writing?

[Kasturi]

I wasnt sure what to call the title of this thread

I am looking for the name of the writing where you use dots, vertical lines, and horizontal lines.

I know its not braile.

Example:
..

[Ahura]

That above look like a Morse code

Box Drawing? It uses lots of lines, but no dot.

[Force Flow]

Simplified Arabian, maybe?

[Anikara]

Think I might have an idea, but need to look a little deeper into it. deifinately not Morse though.

Thought it might be Mayan, it is similar or based on it

looks like a simplified styling of Cuneiform.

If im not mistaken earlier versions had egyptian style picto/ideo's but the later version was strictly lines and dots (the dots being formed by their wedge tools at the end of a line).

The cuneiform script (pronounced /kju??ni??f?rm/, /?kju?n?f?rm/) is the earliest known form of written expression. Created by the Sumerians about 3000 BC (with predecessors reaching into the late 4th millennium or about the period[1] of Uruk IV), cuneiform writing began as a system of pictographs. Over time, the pictorial representations became simplified and more abstract.
Cuneiforms were written on clay tablets, on which symbols were drawn with a blunt reed for a stylus. The impressions left by the stylus were wedge shaped, thus giving rise to the name cuneiform ("wedge shaped").
The Sumerian script was adapted for the writing of the Akkadian, Elamite, Hittite (and Luwian), Hurrian (and Urartian) languages, and it inspired the Old Persian and Ugaritic national alphabets.

Looks like Klingon to me.

actually the Mayan math system is closest to that. The mayans counted usually using cocoa beans and so eash dot counted as a "1". The line represented "5" The actual system was essentially a base 20 system. Instead of a number using 1's,10's,100's etc they used 1's, 20's ,400's, 8000's, etc...

so a .. in 20's place would be 20*7 or 140
