The Theban symbols are similar to runes (runic alphabet), with an upper part similar to n, m or v, followed by a vertical line towards a lower part.
The alphabet was used in Ozzy Osbourne's album: Diary of a Madman, in the anime Hellsing Ultimate, in the manga Black Butler or in the comic book Phonogram.
The first reference to this alphabet dates from 1518 in the book of Johannes Trithemius which attributes it to Honorius of Thebes.
