Yin yang Alphalines
Yin yang Alphalines was devised in February 2006 by Erik Moreno,
a Colombian teenager. The alphabet is based on Yin yang lines on
South Korea flag. It is named Alphalines because from the joined
lines the letters take form. The type of lines in each letter stem
from a code for each line, as it appears below.
