Holy shit dude …. dude… this is so… so much. I can’t believe this is real– like, a real drawing you actually went and made in with physical materials. My god, it’s on Real Paper? I can’t even make words right now. It’s so fucking beautiful. This is by far the most beautiful and elaborate thing I think has ever been done for a thing I wrote, and this completely outclasses anything I’ve ever written or drawn by fucking miles… my dinky headcanon post is hardly deserving of this masterpiece; I feel like this should be in a Viennese gallery like the Beethoven Frieze, with gold leaf and stuff. I’m genuinely emotional right now, just… holy shit look at this………. look at the lyre, look at the waves… he’s got a shattered halo and the body of a broken god, I’m fucking speechless
writing system (prior to them adopting runes), yet professor Tolkien never wrote these down, nor do we really know anything beyond the fact that these once were used by the dwarves.
So sadly, I can’t give you any dwarvish symbols at all, let alone regarding specific topics.
More information about this earlier writing system can be found inthis older ASK. This also includes a wonderful attempt by @striving-artist at creating an ideographic system by using Neo-Khuzdul words.

just in case any of you thought otherwise, the dwarf still has a beard
and her elf gf braids flowers into it and if you disagree you’re a fool
and a coward
Legolas pretty quickly gets in the habit of venting about his travelling companions in Elvish, so long as Gandalf & Aragorn aren’t in earshot they’ll never know right?
Then about a week into their journey like
Legolas: *in Elvish, for approximately the 20th time* ugh fucking hobbits, so annoying
Frodo: *also in Elvish, deadpan* yeah we’re the worst
Legolas:
~*~earlier~*~
Legolas: ugh fucking hobbits
Merry: Frodo what’d he say
Frodo: I’m not sure he speaks a weird dialect but I think he’s insulting us. I should tell him I can understand Elvish
Therefore the Three remained unsullied, for they were forged by
Celebrimbor alone, and the hand of Sauron had never touched them; yet
they also were subject to the One. From that time war never ceased
between Sauron and the Elves; and Eregion was laid waste, and
Celebrimbor slain, and the doors of Moria were shut.
