In fiction, especially shows intended for younger children, letters, numbers, music notes, and other typographical symbols are sometimes depicted as anthropomorphic. Common in edutainment shows, usually to teach children about literacy, as well as letters and numbers, as the typography are brought to life. This is also very common in parodies of edutainment programs, and are also common when used in the context of procrastination of homework and study, as the typography speak to the procrastinator. May form part of an Alphabet Song. Subtrope of Animate Inanimate Object. Compare Fun with Alphabet Soup for another form of letters 'coming to life'. See also Pictorial Letter Substitution. |

Looney Tunes: In "From A To Z-Z-Z-Z", Ralph Philips is asked to solve a math problem on the chalkboard. Looking at the high pile of numbers, he imagines them laughing at him. He gets even by knocking them over, and a five fights him with a four as a sword. Ralph stabs him to death with the line at the bottom of the equation, and that sets the other numbers chasing after him. He fights them off by using the letters on top of the chalkboard as weapons - a D and Y as a bow and arrow, a J as a rifle with its dot and the I dot as bullets. "High Note" is about anthropomorphic musical notes in the score for "Blue Danube". One of them gets drunk and causes havoc. |

Chowder: One scene has Mung Daal attempt to come up with a catchphrase but just ends up imagining the letter "H", which he expresses annoyance at. The H is offended and leaves with her kids, which are all lowercase H's. Another scene has Chowder trying to learn how to write, stating that he's going to tame the letters. Cue a montage of still images with Chowder being attacked by various letters. |

The Pink Panther: In "Pink Punch", the logo for the Panther's titular health drink has the dot in the I stylized as an asterisk. The asterisk comes alive and antagonizes the Panther, first by turning green to ruin the logo's pink color scheme, then by stepping outside and messing with his work. And whenever the Panther tries to get even with it, a large, green asterisk (implied to be its parent) appears to defend it. | |

Gravity Falls: Journal 3: One of the alternate realities the Author mentions visiting is the "M Dimension", a place where everyone and everything is shaped like the letter "M". He found the place completely baffling, wondering how things like an M-shaped vacuum cleaner would even work. The locals' tendency to replace the first letter of every word with M, leading to sentences like "Mave a monderful mime", left him feeling "muicidal" by the time he was able to leave. | |

Leap Frog is a show that focuses on teaching kids their letters and numbers via this trope. The first episode, Letter Factory, involves the protagonist, Tad, learning his alphabet at a factory that produces anthropomorphic letters. The next couple of episodes focus on using said letters to make words, before shifting to numbers in Math Circus, where anthropomorphic numbers perform circus acts of adding and subtracting. The series goes through a few reboots, from using tad and Lily in a different style of episodes teaching the same concept, then focusing on Scout and his friends going through the same concepts, and finally a CGI cartoon focusing on Tad, Leap, and Lily learning the same concepts. | |

Mostly defied by Numberblocks and Alphablocks in favour of Anthropomorphic Personification. Word of God's reasoning for avoiding this trope was that they wanted it to be about the actual math and linguistics rather than the symbols. This is emphasized by the second What-Iffer episode where, when asked "what if" the Numberblocks had different symbols and/or names, the What-Iffer answers that it doesn't actually change what amount they are. This is still somewhat played straight with the "Numberling" symbols having a limited sentience when not attached to their block. | |

Tiny Toon Adventures: One skit featured Gogo Dodo running into a group of living letters in Wackyland, and getting into a Who's on First? style routine with them, such as asking one of them "Who do you think you are?", followed by the letter R popping up. | |

They work their way into sheet music to make the sheet music sound bad. The player's goal is to capture all of the Sour Notes to fix the music. | |

The Non-Adventures of Wonderella: The strip "Sequential THWART" involves Wonderella and Wonderita getting teleported into the realm of anthropomorphic numbers. They solve a mystery involving number Six stealing Nine's identity, find out the hard way that reciting the digits of Pi is the local religion, and drop as many math puns as possible along the way. | |

Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass: The Secret Meridian world has, in addition to Living Polyhedrons, some enemies that are anthropomorphic numbers: The Onefish, Twofish, and Variable Fish enemies are flat, geometric fish-like creatures that are shaped like a 1, 2, and y respectively. Exaggerated with the Balanced Equation enemies, a pair of chemical equations which are indeed balanced. The Optional Boss of the Asymmetrical Cavern, Imaginary Numbers, is a bizarre monster made of mathematical symbols. As the wiki notes: |

One episode of Super Why! features all the letters becoming sad because their only purpose was to make sounds. The team saw the opportunity to make words out of the letters so that they can start a parade. | |

Family Guy: One cutaway gag personifies the vowels as businessmen attending a meeting. Y is portrayed as an obnoxious individual who disrupts his colleagues, referencing how said letter can also be used as a consonant. When Peter visits H & R Block, the managers are portrayed as those letters, only with human lips and limbs. R finds out that H has been cheating on her with M (a reference to the H & M clothing company) and takes her own life, prompting her husband to desperately scream "Why?". This causes the letter Y to show up and state he was taking a pee; which in turn leads to the letter P joining them. |
