I'm trying to translate the Fez alphabet/symbols, numbers included.

Could somebody post the deciphered alphabet and numbers please?

    I would recommend sorting like symbols together, for me at least it has made the process a lot quicker. – aaa Apr 14 '12 at 18:49

Here is my version of the Alphabet / Numbers / Inputs translation:

    Great work! Now if only I knew what LT, RT and A mean for PC... – Zommuter May 18 '13 at 18:59

    LT and RT are rotate, and A is jump. – Cristián Romo May 19 '13 at 16:29

    Is there a place in the game that helps you understand the code? Or is it supposed to be cracked just by looking at the symbols that appear on walls and objects? – lolmaus - Andrey Mikhaylov Jul 18 '13 at 20:44

    So I'm confused about these codes. Does the game actually lead to realize/learn these codes somewhere? Or is this actually like, "Oh I think I see a pattern". And then you pull out a notebook and start fiddling around? – Jason Dunkelberger Sep 14 '13 at 00:25
  • @lolmaus I know there is a place that tells you the symbols for keys. It’s a pillar with dots (visible in the area thumbnail). When standing near it, any time you press a button, the corresponding symbol displays and a sound plays. As for the numbers and alphabet, I’m not sure if they are ever spelled out, but one hint the game gives you is the artifacts that it tells you are “used for writing” and “used for numbers”. You can see the possible symbols by viewing and rotating the artifacts in your inventory. – Rory O'Kane Sep 14 '13 at 04:30

    @JasonD and lolmaus – This question’s answers point out the place where the game spells out the alphabet cipher. This question’s answers describe where the number and button ciphers are explained. – Rory O'Kane Sep 14 '13 at 04:44
  • @RoryO'Kane thanks hadn't seen/noticed that. Just for the sheer terror of it, I went ahead and solved ol' substitution cipher style which took writing on actual paper, and left me with decoded messages but with some garbage. Checking my answer with these online, shows that it is indeed not a clean 1-1 substition... for anyone else that wants to try to decode it the hard way. – Jason Dunkelberger Sep 15 '13 at 01:24

    Note that the e and z as well as k/q and x are not the same as this image seems to imply. See the image from the other answer to see the difference. – Michel Billard Apr 17 '12 at 14:40
  • I merged them since they were close enough to be confused. There's only one puzzle where the E/Z difference could even matter. – Wolf Apr 17 '12 at 17:25
