Hieroglyph for "grain" (see Pefsu problem), which resembles a speech balloon.
Speech balloons (also speech bubbles, dialogue balloons or word balloons) are a graphic convention used most commonly in comics, comic books, and cartoons to allow words (and much less often, pictures) to be understood as representing the speech or thoughts of a given character in the comic.
There is often a formal distinction between the balloon that indicates thoughts and the one that indicates words spoken aloud.
The balloon that conveys subjective thoughts is often referred to as a thought bubble.
