10. Typically, the Polish letters are alphabetical, have, or
have been written with softening, si, zi, because they
lacked characters in the Latin alphabet. Initially, one
Latin sign reflected up to four Polish sounds, so medieval
writers began to create special combinations of Latin
letters. However, this solution turned out to be
insufficient, and that is why they finally started to add to
them crescents or petioles, i. e. distinguishing
(diacritical) signs. Most of these signs have been
accepted and have survived to this day. However, it is
worth knowing that once "ę" was written as crossed out
"e" or "e" with a circle at the top.
