Using up the information available, is this printed on a certain item? Is it printed on multiple of those same items? or just that one? If it’s just that one, is it a name? Can you tell if there are signs of punctuation and other notes that one can put together to make an educated decision? And you do this along the line until you can figure out enough words that you can make educated guesses about what the other symbols might have meant, though the pronunciation of it all is much harder to put together without help.
