The Arabic letter between graphic drawing, phonetic and lexical features

Abstract

Although writing is a means of communication and expression of ideas, the Arabic script has transcended this and achieved the exception of being an
aesthetic calligraphic art. This is due to its core, the Arabic letter, which is characterised by many unique features such as pliability, ascents and curves,
horizontal extension, conciseness, and the Sufi and poetic expressiveness of the Arabic letter. For example, many consider the letter Meem to symbolise
constriction or the mouth of the beloved, the letter Seen to symbolise beautiful teeth, the letter Dal to symbolise the stature of a sorrowful lover... and many
other connotations and characteristics.
