- The joining of two or more graphemes or letters as a single glyph. An example is the character “æ” as used in English, in which the letters “a” and “e” are joined. The common ampersand (“&”) developed from a ligature in which the handwritten Latin letters “e” and “t” (spelling “et,” from the Latin for “and”) were combined. ← Wikipedia
