Yeah agreed with Scrabniac. Even if it was a real, coded language. I doubt Lorne or any of the artists would give it away or even say it's a real thing.
Lame... At the very least, I found out that they're the same symbols as in Oddysee, which is cool.

Also, here are some different looking symbols found on the employee counter boards in New n Tasty if anyone is interested.

I don't think it has meaning, Its easy to come up with 5-10 symbols and just repeat them after different symbols to make patterns. I would believe that they set each symbol a meaning if they implemented into the game that the player had to learn transcripts to find clues etc
I was imagining it like how they have a bunch of reference documents for A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones novel series) that aren't necessarily available to the public, but are kept by the creators.

It seems like a lot of the details about the Oddworld universe have been thought out already by Lorne Lanning, such as the Mudokons' spiritual powers etc. so I don't think it's too out of the question to think he has a written language (or at least parts of it) drawn out on one of the assuredly hundreds of Oddworld-related documents in his possession.
