Description
A tiny guide for Digimon fans about Holy Rings and their strange text. This is to help clarifying what exactly it is.
These markings are so said "digimoji", katakana letters in Digital World (also known as DigiCode, DigiKana and DigiLetters). This "Digital Monster" is not the only phrase in existence, but it's the one used on Holy Rings. When these markings appear on a Digimon, they usually mean something (often in Japanese).

Ah, sweet! I thought that the rings on Growlmon were the same as the Holy Rings, but I couldn't tell. xD
Whenever I get to making a Growlmon hoodie, now I'll know what exactly to put.

Most often it is this "Digital Monster" but some monsters use other phrases.

I was about to ask about the whole ordeal with Phantomon and Growlmon, but you already answered that xD
So, in that context, it can act more as a clerical scripture than a specific "holy" scripture.
But I guess it also depends how a person views the Digimon's use for that language/artifact as well.
Regardless:
Thank you for taking the time to make this. It's good to see fans like yourself to take this into consideration (and for helping the rest of us as well)

I was surprised how many did not know this before. So maybe this was a good idea. |>
I like well-thought original digimon and valid fanart, and this week I saw one wrong written Holy Ring too much, so I decided to do something. Wikimon is a good source nowadays, unlike 2005 and 2006 when I started to take this digimon designing more seriously.

Oooh! I'm glad you made this! It's very helpful!
I had no idea there were so many symbols. I only knew of the 26 English alphabet letters that appear on the D-Terminal.

Yep, those are valid digiletters too, but since Digimon is Japanese show, there's katakana text too.

Seems like many people didn't know this, so maybe this was.

I'll be sure to use this in the future for any Digimon pictures I do. Or, heck, just for fun \D
