Dorabella Cipher is an enciphered letter written by composer Edward Elgarto to Dora Penny, which was accompanied by another dated July 14, 1897.
The cipher, consisting of 87 characters spread over 3 lines, appears to be made up from 24 symbols, each symbol consisting of 1, 2, or 3 approximate semicircles oriented in one of 8 directions (the orientation of several characters is ambiguous). A small dot appears after the fifth character on the third line.
