This section will describe the symbols as they are weirdly not difficult to describe. I am basing it off this. https://twitter.com/cia391/status/1664777396136935426
Text, or writing, Sangheili appears to be mostly triangle shapes and composed almost completely of equilateral triangles. The main triangle can use three distinct styles and they are, as follows, "Standard" where it is a regular triangle, "Technical" where a line is taken out each side of the triangle leaving a line, and "Transitional" where it uses the same logic as Technical but instead of leaving a line it removes the entire section. (Cite Halo 5 Forge here)
These triangles are often seen with a notch taken out one of their sides, these are described as "Notched". These notches can either be Triangle shaped (Cite Halo 5 Forge here) or semi-circles.(Cite Halo2.com, Halo 4, Halo Wars Launch Site... essentially any source that uses that type)
Surrounding the triangles is often smaller triangles, these are described as a "Tick". (Cite Halo 5 Forge here) Ticks have also been used to make some letters of their own, forgoing the larger triangle. (Cite Halo2.com, Halo 4, Halo Wars Launch Site... essentially any source that uses that type)
If a triangle has a triangle taken out of it, this is described as "Hollow". These are not seen to use notches. (Cite Halo 5 Forge)
Thin isosceles triangles on their side are also used. (Cite Halo2.com)
The triangular characters have been seen oriented both in the horizontal left-to-right direction and in a vertical right-to-left direction.[3]
