The letter A has come a long way from being an Egyptian hieroglyph and a Canaanite pictograph to the modern vowel symbol it is today.

 

One of its greatest leaps was the shift from representing the glottal stop to being a vowel in Greek.

However its form had several variants differing in various polises and whether it was written in papyrus or  engraved on stone . The bull kept its horns for a few centuries !
