SW is composed of a complex set of symbols (called glyphs) that allows encoding each component of the sign and is organized into a classification called ISWA (International SW Alphabet), where each glyph is identified by a unique numeric code (CNU). This paper examines the changes of SW through the years, changes that have affected the number of glyphs, their graphics, and the general organization of the classification; the analysis of the dynamics of SW modifications (that are both "top-bottom" and "bottom-top") allows to hypothesize how SW may evolve in the future. %@ 978-954-20-0555-1
