The sixth and seventh lines both start with the same "word" that seem to start with the same two "letters" (assuming a substitution cipher of some sort). What word starts with the same two letters?

So I sat down with a pen and paper and wrote down every unique character and got 94 total. The English alphabet is 26 characters and even adding in numerals 0-9, you've only got 36. Spanish is 27 and numerals is 37. So maybe this isn't about letter to letter translation as much as groupings stand for certain letters or words? This is my first time ever trying my hand at code so I may be way off base with my guesses.

Edit: I also noticed in line 4 group 4 there were 3 symbols grouped together and in line 7 group 4 the same three are repeated only with a different preceding symbol.

So what other languages use a lot of characters? Chinese? Japanese? Things of that nature? Or is it just a new language?
