Steel alphabet
Related to Allomancy
World of Origin Scadrial

The Steel alphabet was the set of glyphs used on Scadrial. It has been shown that the glyphs evolved over time.[citation needed]

Most of the symbols used were also used to represent various metals.

At some point the alphabet diverged such that the symbols used to represent Feruchemical metals were distinct to those used by Allomancy and the general alphabet.[citation needed]

During the technological advancement after the Final Ascension, the symbols used during the Final Empire were tweaked to become easier for printing.[citation needed]

“The three sets of symbols show the progression of the Allomantic text through the ages. The earliest script is from Hero of Ages. It was changed and modified into the Terris script symbols we see in Well of Ascension. After more time, the Terris script morphed into what is now known as the Allomantic Alphabet or the Steel Alphabet, which are the symbols used in Mistborn: The Final Empire. We've extrapolated the Steel Alphabet into a script that's more-standardized and refined for the chapter headings in Alloy of Law, which takes place 300 years after Hero of Ages.”

—Isaac Stewart on the history of the icons.[1]

The mapping between the English and Steel alphabet was first achieved by Valkynphyre of the 17th Shard.[2]
