Proposal to encode Egyptian Hieroglyphs in the SMP of the UCS

Michael Everson, Bob Richmond

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

This is a proposal to encode a subset of the Egyptian Hieroglyphs in the international character encoding standard Unicode. The script was published in Unicode Standard version 5.2 in October 2009. The character repertoire includes the "Gardiner set" of characters, with additional characters. Format characters which allow layout of characters in a quadrat are separately encoded (see: and Chapter 11.4 of The Unicode Standard).
