Digimoji

The Digimon Alphabet (デジモン文字 Dejimon Moji) is a collection of logographic symbols used in the Digital World ("DigiCode") that represent the both the Latin Alphabet and list of both Hiragana and Katakana.

List of Digimon with inscribed DigiCode

 * Imperialdramon Paladin Mode: — "Initialize" [Omega Blade]

Goatmon's gorget reads — —
 * Goatmon

These lines are fragments of a quote from  which reads in full "When Light and Shadow are joined, set us in the eyes of the goat that faces the high sun." (光と影を結び時つぐる、高き日に向かいし山羊の眼に我を収めよ Hikari to kage wo musubi tokitsugeru, takaki nichi ni mukaishi yagi no manako ni ware wo osame yo)

Thus, on Goatmon they would read "Wh- / -ght and shadow are joined, / us in the eyes / that faces /"

Nefertimon's Rosetta Stone reads
 * Nefertimon

This translates to From the stone of great light, (巨なる光の石よ Ōinaru hikari no ishi yo) This power is given (その力をして Sono chikara wo shite) That the shadows of evil (邪悪の闇を Jāku no yami wo) Will be destroyed. (後破壊 Nochi hakai)


 * Wisemon

In episode 38, Gennai contacts Koushirou via e-mail regarding how to defeat Vamdemon including an prophetic inscription found in ancient ruins with Digicode present on it (in the form of a compressed file attachment), this is intended to be translated as:

はじめにコウモリの群れが空をおおった. 続いて人々がアンデッドデジモンの王の名を唱えた. そして時が獣の数字を刻んだ時、アンデッドデジモンの王は獣の正体をあらわした. 天使たちがその守るべき人のもっとも愛する人へ光と希望の矢を放ったとき、奇跡はおきた.

Although in reality the stone actually depicts random DigiCode characters, on the stone, this would appear as:

In episode 49, at the Numemon-enslaving factory led by Waru Monzaemon, there is a DigiCode inscription seen on each of the two domes which reads "". This translates to "Clean Energy" (クリーンエネルギー).

DigiCode can be seen on the Digital Analyzer. It can also be seen on the Holy Stones, reading "Digital Monster".

In the opening title of episode 13, a column of DigiCode appears displaying the following:

This translates to "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" (フングルイ ムグルウナフ クトゥルウ ルルイエ ウガフナグル フタグン), an occult phrase from H. P. Lovecraft's  which means "In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming". Later, when Hikari is alone, she walks past a sign that reads - "" (インスマウス), a fictional town in.

Later, in episode 36, the children discover a spring that naturally gives forth soup, but fail to read the sign warning them not to drink it. 中華スープの

The Digicode translates to "中華スープの泉: 聖なる中華な泉のスープを無断で呑むことを禁ず無断で呑んだ者は罰する", so in English the sign would be read as "The Chinese Soup Spring: It is forbidden to drink the soup of the sacred Chinese Spring without permission and those who drink it without permission will be punished."

When the Tamers use their D-Arcs to evolve their Digimon to the Adult level, DigiCode is displayed which reads: — "Evolution"  (エボリューション Eboryshion), but this is written in fragments -  followed by  shown vertically to the left of the screen, hence they would translate as "Evoluti—" and "—tion" respectively. Also, during that moment, they are surrounded by a "cocoon" of DigiCode which repeatedly displays a random sequence of letters, reminiscent of movies with a cyberspace theme, in which random characters appear everywhere as well as flowing with the digital theme of Digimon Tamers.

In episode 33, Shaochung enters the Digital World and appears at the "Great Southern Gate" directly above an engraving in the ground which reads: — "Zhuqiaomon" (スーツェーモン Sūtsēmon). However, unlike other DigiCode, this is displayed in the manner of how it would appear in Katakana, so it appears as: In episode 35, Takato's D-Arc is destroyed as a result of Guilmon becoming Megidramon and he receives a new gold and white D-Arc in its place. This displays DigiCode on the golden outer rim of the screen which reads: — "Digimon Tamers" (デジモンテイマーズ Dejimon Teimzu).

The message from Dukemon to Omegamon reads

This translates to

From Dukemon (デュークモンから Dykumon kara) To Omegamon (オメガモンへの Omegamon he no) Hotline (ホットライン Hottorain) Access (アクセス Akusesu) Connect OK (コネクト オーケーKonekuto k)

In the first opening, during the scene where it shows various views of action at the DATS Headquarters, the following DigiCode is displayed on the top rows, along with lateral inversions on the bottom rows:


 * — "Digital"
 * — "Tactics"
 * — "Squad" (in reverse on the bottom row)
 * — "Squad" (in reverse on the bottom row)

Also, during the scene where it displays the evolutions of the three main digimon, the English DigiCode along the top of the screen displays the following:
 * Thoma:
 * Top 2 rows: — "Gaomon Gaogamon Machgaogamon Miragegaogamon"


 * Yoshino:
 * Top 2 rows: — "Lalamon Sunflowmon Lilamon Rosemon"


 * Masaru:
 * Top 2 rows: — "Agumon Geogreymon Rizegreymon Shineggreymon"


 * Bottom 2 rows for all three: — "Rookie Champion Ultimate Mega"

When Masaru and the others revisit Wanderer's Cape, they came across a mysterious building that had a sign with DigiCode on it, reading —  "Digisoul Dojo" (デジソウル道場 Dejisouru Doujou). Other occasions where DigiCode appears throughout the series include a flashback of Kurata finding Belphemon's DigiTama inside a chest sealed by a sheet written DigiCode, which lay hidden within ancient ruins in the Digital World. This DigiCode read:
 * — "Do not open".

There was also DigiCode on the wall outside this chest, but it was merely a table of the entire Digimon alphabet, arranged in Japanese yokogaki.

The seal containing Lucemon displays N, S, E, and W (,, and  respectively) at the cardinal points, "Darkness"  clockwise along the outer circle, "Seal"  to the left, right, top, and bottom of the "octogon" formed within the central circle, and a Digital Hazard symbol in the middle, depicted similar to the diagram (right). Each time when Kagura uses the code keys to unlock the seal, DigiCode newly appear in vertical segments highlighted in red, but these are just random letters (ex: "r", "t", "h", "e", "l").

The Seven Great Demon Lords' code keys also include DigiCode, the name of the member is written at the top, directly above their respective crest. It also appears during evolution, however this is merely random sequencing of letters, for example "dfslkfghh". Lalamon's Special Move "" displays DigiKana characters which include "sa", "ya", "su", "gi", "ra", "ri", "go", "ku", and "mu".
