An allograph can simply be the opposite of an Blog entry on the associations the shapes of letters may hold, that is it is a person's words or name (written) written down by someone else.
An allograph may also be a smaller fragment of writing, that is a language or a group of letters, which represents a particular sound.
Allographs have found use in g and phoneme; a famous example of allographic humour is that of spelling fish A-Z Index.

 Electronic Textual Editing: Philosophy Case Study [Claus Huitfeldt, Department of Philosophy, University of Bergen ]
Orthography is corrected to a standard form, slips of the pen and deleted materials are suppressed, shorthand abbreviations are extended, and unequivocal instructions for the reordering of material are carried out.
Further complication are that orthography variation is quite often a literary means of expression, and that orthography may in itself be an object of study.
While there may be a need to retain the original orthography, as in diplomatic transcription, there is also a need to standardise orthography to some set of uniform spelling rules.

In other words, he recognizes that what is involved is a process of transcoding between a system of signs based on acoustic images and a system of signs based on visual-graphic images.
It is important to distinguish clearly between Saussure's critique of normative rules of orthography and the very different claim that langue and écriture are two distinct systems of signs, each with their own semiological principles of organization.
Clearly, this stands in marked contrast to the normative and prescriptive rules of orthography which suppress phonological diversity in the Western European tradition of pedagogical grammars.

 Writing system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In the study of writing systems, orthography refers to the method and rules of observed writing structure (literal meaning, "correct writing"), and in particular for alphabetic systems, includes the concept of spelling.
These individual variations are known as allographs of a grapheme (compare with the term allophone used in linguistic study).
The selection between different allographs may be influenced by the medium used, the writing instrument, the stylistic choice of the writer, and the largely unconscious features of an individual's handwriting.

 Simplified Spelling Society : Italian spelling.
Likewise with J, used in Latin merely as a variant (allograph) on I: though maintained throughout the 17th and 18th centuries for the semivowel value /j/ (=English Y), it was then gradually abandoned.
The strongest unifying force, beside the mass media, is the homogeneous orthography, and, as linguists have repeatedly pointed out, the recommended pronunciation for foreign learners is the one based on the spelling.
Most proposed spelling reforms for English have not considered such a criterion in their design, but we may note that, although the Cut Spelling (CS, Upward, 1996) proposal was not initially designed for compatibility with other languages, it has subsequently been found to display such compatibility to a surprising degree [3].

 Grapheme
In spelling systems that are non-phonemic andmdash; such as the spellings used most widely for written English andmdash; multiple graphemes may represent a single phoneme.
Different glyphs can represent the same grapheme, meaning they are allographs.
For example, the minuscule letter a can be seen in two variants, with a hook at the top, and without.

 William Rothwell: Ignorant scribe and learned editor: patterns of textual error in editions of Anglo-French texts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In terms of theoretical medieval orthography she is no doubt correct, but in terms both of overall orthographical practice as seen in scores of medieval texts written in Anglo-French and also as viewed from the standpoint of medieval civilization in general, this is clearly a sacrifice of common sense on the altar of philological theory.
The standardized orthography developed in modern times as a result of this revolution posits an equally standardized form of instruction applied over the whole area in which the language is used, a state of affairs found in France and England only from the post-medieval age in which the early philologists themselves lived.
Such a process of standardization may be seen at work today in the way in which children are gradually schooled through national systems of education to write in a standard script at the level of both individual letter and word, although their own untutored handwriting and spelling may be perfectly comprehensible, if somewhat idiosyncratic.

 A TEI-Based Tag Set for Manuscript Transcription   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
A transcription for philological purposes should record linguistically relevant details of scribal practice: the orthography and graphemic inventory of the manuscript should be followed closely; abbreviations, insertions, changes, deletions, erasures, and disturbances in sequence of material should all be registered.
Some pairs of allographs do not vary freely: in many manuscript and printed books in most Western European languages, long and short "s" are allographs in complementary distribution (short "s" in final position, long "s" elsewhere).
In some cases, two characters may be graphemically distinct in some contexts, and allographs in others (in Middle English MSS, "c" and "t" are notoriously hard to distinguish, particularly in word endings corresponding to modern "-tion", where both spellings were common, and the difference in spelling carried no distinction in meaning).

(Allographs are signs with a different appearance but the same meaning, that substitute freely for one another.) There are instances where both the "bird" variant and one of the "bone" variants appear together in the same context, as illustrated above.

 The Shwah Language: Sounds and Script   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Very rarely, Shwah uses a distinct allograph, one that is not composed of a merograph superimposed on a Shwah letter.
In all contexts except display, these three allographs are treated as if they were composed of the Labial merograph superimposed on the Shwah letters y, oh, and uh - in other words, they are substitute glyphs, or ligatures.
This is especially a problem in languages with orthography far from phonemic, for example English, French, and Chinese.

 Open Syllable Lengthening before /t/ and /k/ in the language of Cursor Mundi--the evidence from rhyme vowels. - ...
One of those features is a typically Northern practice of using digraphs and for Middle English /e:/ and /a:/, respectively (see Kniezsa 1983: 45), where the second element of the digraph serves as a length indicator.
Another two popular devices for designating vowel length used by the scribe are the doubling of a vocalic allograph, as in saand 'messenger' (OE sand) or faand 'to test' (OE fandian), and the use of the weak word-final with the reference to the preceding open syllable nucleus (Mosse 1952 [1991]: 12).
The shortness of a stressed vocalic segment is, in turn, commonly marked with the application of yet another scribal tool, namely a doubled consonantal grapheme placed immediately after a vowel the quantity of which it signifies.

In writing systems that follow an alphabetic principle, there is a close correspondence between a particular shape or allograph and a particular sound or allophone making it possible to spell just as one speaks.
In English, which departs from the alphabetic principle about half the time, sounds are associated with several shapes (or letters) and most letters are associated with several sounds.

Parpola notes (1994, pp.103-104): "A comparative study of the allographs provides one important means of identifying the iconic meaning of even fairly abstract shapes…the (allograph) continuum)…Taken together, these signs can be understood as pictures of a single object, namely, ‘steps, staircase or ladder’; taken individually, such a conclusion would hardly be possible."

 Re: Standalone Superscript Alef (Item 8)
If you are going to use two seperate codepoints to encode superscript/dagger/small alef, one for its usage on top of alef maksura and another for its usage in words like haadha, dhaalika and bura'aa'u, I would tell you that you should use the same codepoint in haadha, dhaalika and bura'aa'u.
The difference between dhaalika and bura'aa'u is only at the allograph level, it is really the same grapheme.

 LINGUIST List 7.400: Daniels & Bright The World's Writing Systems
In a posted response to my query (6.1096), Daniels stated that "the number of languages with a `phonemic' orthography approaches zero." There is no question, given the detailed descriptions in the book, that this statement seems to be true, in that writing systems tend to represent phonological structure that is certainly not "surfacey".
On the other hand, without a more detailed phonological description of all of the languages sampled in the book -- something that is certainly outside the scope of the collection -- it is hard to judge exactly to what extent writing tends towards the "morphophonemic" rather than strictly "phonemic".
Note that some of the contributors to the volume use the term "allograph", which seems to suggest that not everybody is uncomfortable with the notion of "grapheme".
