The term Glyphes comes from Pennacchi 2008 Pennacchi B. 2008. Mettere nero su bianco la LIS. In: C. Bagnara, S. Corazza, S. Fontana, A. Zuccalà (eds) "I Segni parlano: prospettive di ricerca sulla Lingua dei Segni italiana". Franco Angeli, Milano: 140-147. http://books.google.it/books?id=aZ-1Mb75PBgC&pg=PA159&lpg=PA159&dq=glifo+signwriting&source=bl&ots=Ac2wY6_Wbw&sig=f29MJe_dOgMxAcfIs4tCGPnzuss&hl=it She decide to use "glyphes" because it meaning is only marginally related to terms connected to vocal languages. Because for "symbol" you have a lot of meanings (link in Pierce's theory of iconicity) that give aspectations about what is the value of a unit in SW. The same is for "caractère" or other words connected to language theory. By the way, if you use glyphs, you have to say that is not in a informatical way that you use the term.
