What is the Infernal Alphabet? (Definition)
The Infernal Alphabet is a fictional alphabet used in the Dungeons & Dragons universe (DnD).
In official books, notably the 5th Edition Player's Handbook, this alphabet appears as a set of stylized glyphs, each corresponding to a letter of the Latin alphabet.
In the game's lore, this alphabet is associated with the devils of the Nine Hells and their language, Infernal, sometimes described in older editions as the language of the baatezu.
