TheWikiHieroextension allows the addition of Ancient Egyptianhieroglyphsfrom text written in accordance with theHieroglyph coding manualsyntax.

Usage

See theHieroglyph coding manualfor details. ^{[need link]}

In brief:

-- separator

:- subdivision

*- juxtaposition

!- end of line

\- reverse an asymmetric character

V- rotate character [only a few are supported, e.g. Y1, Y1V]

Each hieroglyph is given a unique code:

A letter [A-Z + Aa] that represents the hieroglyph category (human, god, bird, etc.)
A number that represents the rank in this category [1-...]

This unique code is an extension of Gardiner's list of hieroglyphs.

TheHieroglyph coding manualallows the use of the more common phonemes as well as unique code.
