1. The Pigpen Cipher uses a grid system where each letter is represented by a symbol based on its position within a tic-tac-toe-like grid or an X-shaped grid.
2. The first grid (top left) contains letters A-I, with each letter corresponding to a specific shape formed by the lines of the grid and dots indicating the position within the cell.
3. The second grid (top right) contains letters J-R, using the same principle as the first grid but with a different arrangement.
4. The third grid (bottom left) contains letters S-V, represented by shapes formed by intersecting lines in an X pattern, with dots indicating position.
5. The fourth grid (bottom right) contains letters W-Z, also using the X pattern with dots for positioning.
6. To decode the Japanese proverb, match each symbol to its corresponding letter using the provided grids: C = ⬜, J = ⬛, L = ⬜, L = ⬜ → "CJLL" becomes "CJLL" which decodes to "CJLL" (Note: This appears to be an error or placeholder; actual decoding would require matching symbols to letters).
7. For the Martin Luther King Jr. quote, decode each symbol similarly: > = G, < = E, etc., resulting in "GE" for the first two symbols, continuing this process for the full quote.
8. For the Maya Angelou quote, follow the same method: > = G, < = E, etc., translating each symbol into its corresponding letter to reveal the full quote.
