Summarium

Descriptio
English: A (so defined) Zoographic Character, said to be an ancient version of the Coptic script according to Athanasius Kircher's 1697 book Turris Babel.

This specific character is said to correspond to the coptic letter Phi, Greek Φ, φ; its mystical meaning is given by Kircher as , translated in latin as Amor, "Love".

Please be noted that those above are the interpretations given by Kircher himself, and should not be taken as scientific thruths in the modern sense.
