1. ^ As of Unicode version 15.1. The Egyptian Hieroglyphs Unicode block has 94 standardized variants defined to specify rotated signs: [3] Variation selector-1 (VS1) (U+FE00) can be used to rotate 39 signs by 90°:
Transliteration of Ancient Egyptian. As used for Egyptology, transliteration of Ancient Egyptian is the process of converting (or mapping) texts written as Egyptian language symbols to alphabetic symbols representing uniliteral hieroglyphs or their hieratic and demotic counterparts. This process facilitates the publication of texts where the ...
The total number of distinct Egyptian hieroglyphs increased over time from several hundred in the Middle Kingdom to several thousand during the Ptolemaic Kingdom. In 1928/1929 Alan Gardiner published an overview of hieroglyphs, Gardiner's sign list, the basic modern standard. It describes 763 signs in 26 categories (A–Z, roughly).

Windows, DOS, and older minicomputers used Control-Z for this purpose. 3 Control-G is an artifact of the days when teletypes were in use.
Background. The distinction made by Unicode between character and glyph variant is somewhat problematic in the case of the runes; the reason is the high degree of variation of letter shapes in historical inscriptions, with many "characters" appearing in highly variant shapes, and many specific shapes taking the role of a number of different characters over the period of runic use (roughly the ...
It was documented by Yefim Karsky in 1928 in a copy of the Book of Psalms from around 1429, now found in the collection of the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius. [7] The character was proposed for inclusion into Unicode in 2007 [8] and incorporated as character U+A66E in Unicode version 5.1 (2008). [9]
