They resemble a few {{wp|Greek alphabet}} letters, especially σ (lowercase sigma), Σ (capital sigma), Π (pi) and Ω (omega). However, lowercase letters have never been made into Unown before, so this may be an error or a misinterpretion by fans. The top-middle Unown may be also a variation of an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection, [[wp:Eye of Horus|the Eye of Horus]], or the Russian letter Я (ya). This may lead to the conclusion that there are more forms of Unown, being the prototypes of other known (or unknown) alphabets. | ||
