Answers to Questions (FAQ)
What is the Noita alphabet? (Definition)
The Noita alphabet refers to the glyph systems used in the video game Noita to represent texts and secret messages.
Two main sets can be distinguished:
— Common glyphs, found notably on emerald tablets, books, altars, and Holy Mountain platforms. They correspond directly to Latin characters and allow texts in English to be transliterated.
— Orb room glyphs, which become visible after using the appropriate substances in the pools found in these rooms. They correspond to Finnish characters and allow texts related to the game's mythology to be reconstructed.
Common glyphs are the main system for studying inscriptions scattered throughout the world of Noita, and dCode focuses exclusively on these glyphs.
How to encode text using the common runes?
Find the corresponding glyph for each character in the text (letter or digit) using the following transliteration table:

How to decode a Noita rune?
Isolate the glyph or group of glyphs to be identified and determine which system is being used: common glyphs or orb room glyphs.
For common glyphs, use the transliteration table above, then replace each glyph with its corresponding Latin character.
Example: translates to RUNE
How to recognise common runes in the game?
The glyphs in the game Noita are pixelated, fitting into a low-resolution grid (approximately 5x7 pixels).
They are a clever blend of ancient Norse runes and esoteric or extraterrestrial symbols, somewhat as if a language like the Elder Futhark had been imported into Minecraft.
What are the variants of the Noita runes?
Common glyphs can appear in different graphic forms depending on the medium and font density.
A short and compact form is notably visible on certain platforms, altars, and interactive objects.
A larger, more script-like form appears in certain environments and inscriptions, particularly in backgrounds of the Hiisi Base.
