See my reply to Rene. Statistics of glyphs and digraphs is definitely the first thing one should do when faced with a new cipher or "cipher". But they cannot tell much. To make real advances one must make some non-trivial hypotheses about the plaintext and/or the encoding, and then devise statistical tests that could confirm or refute them.
