- A hieroglyph can refer to almost all pictorial writing systems, such as those of ancient Sumer/Mesopotamia, Mesoamerica, the Indus Valley and other eastern Mediterranean areas. However, it most commonly refers to the Egyptian writing system. The term "hieroglyph" is derived from the Classical Greek words for "sacred writing", used to describe the Egyptian hieroglyphs that were commonly used in temples and known only to the scribes.
- Hieroglyphs are writing systems that use iconic symbols to communicate messages. Multiple ancient cultures used hieroglyphs, but the most famous variety are Egyptian hieroglyphs. There have been numerous encounters with hieroglyphs throughout Lost. Damon Lindelof indicated in Access: Granted that the symbols are used because "there are many interpretations of hieroglyphics [sic], that's what we were going for." Some of the hieroglyphs, like those on the countdown timer in the Swan station, were created by the DHARMA Initiative. ("[[|]]") Others, like those on The Temple, appear to be much older.

Each hieroglyph is given an alphanumeric code so it can be written using the letters and numbers of western society. Each code is referred to as the symbol's Gardiner Code. For example, the first symbol in the countdown timer, folded cloth, has the code "S29".
