Title: Can anyone solve this symbolic polynomial?

I've been experimenting with a symbolic mathematics system that uses custom glyphs instead of numeric coefficients.

Can anyone solve, simplify, or analyze the following equation?

⟴∴⊚·x^5 + ∞◦∮·x^4 + ⟴✧⊚·x^3 + ⟴◌⊚·x^2 + 〰∴≈·x + ⟴✦⊚ = 0

The coefficients are represented by symbolic glyphs rather than ordinary numbers.

I'm interested in seeing how people approach it before I reveal the mapping (if I reveal it at all).

Questions I'm curious about:

  • Is there anything you can deduce from the notation alone?
  • What information would you need to solve it rigorously?
  • If you encountered something like this in a research paper, how would you begin reverse engineering the coefficient system?

This is part of a larger symbolic math project I've been working on, so I'm mainly interested in your reasoning process rather than just an answer.
