The art team probably just designed them randomly to look like some kind of mystic script but, yes, I wouldn't be surprised that, if the story decides it, they will turn out to mean something. Maybe a mantra of some sort that Weiss uses as part of meditation/aura focussing exercises.

If you look at Glynda and Cinder's Glyphs, they also have symbols and such around the edges, but their Glyphs do much different things (storm clouds and incineration respectively). The symbols could just be a reflection of what the Glyph's purpose is, sort of like the transmutation circles from Full Metal Alchemist or maybe they take the place of magic words. What I was trying to get at was that it may tell something about her (and now that you brought them up, cinder and glynda as well). I looked back at all three of their glyphs and noticed two things, one unrelated thing to cinder, and how the rune look. Wiess' are all short, you know like how an infant is just learning to write, they write in short sentences, or could be a poem, she is basically "royalty". The other two however look much more complete. But still there's some difference. Gylnda's look like it was "written neatly", there's no extra thickness in any of runes. Of course, Glynda is the headmasters assistant/partner so guess that was a give. Now to cinder, easiest thing to spot, no spaces. Maybe a angry rant or a REALLY LONG WORD(not likely though), makes me wonder why hers are like that and not as I would call "normal glyphs". P.S. Yes, I did just look in really close detail at the glyphs. P.S.S. I've never typed glyphs so much ever before.
