ANGUS — ANcient eGyptian Utility for Symbols

A helpful "flashcard" utility for symbols in Gardiner's sign list. It is implemented entirely in javascript, simply open index.html in your web browser of choice.

Hieroglyph glyphs are pulled from Wikipedia.

To add additional phrases into the dictionary so they will appear, add them to uniliterals.js as a dict in the uniliterals array, with the following keys:

  • hiero - a list of symbols, identified by their ID in the Gardiner sign list (case-sensitive);
  • translit - the transliteration (literal, use the Unicode character in the list below for non-Roman characters).

Note the following Unicode characters used:

  • ḥ - \u1E25 (in the UI, type h.)
  • ḫ - \u1E2B (in the UI, type h))
  • ẖ - \u1E96 (in the UI, type h_)
  • š - \u0161 (in the UI, type s<)
  • ṯ - \u1E6F (in the UI, type t_)
  • ḏ - \u1E0F (in the UI, type d_)
  • ḳ - \u1E33 (in the UI, type k.)
  • ꜣ - \uA723 (in the UI, type a)
  • ꜥ - \uA725 (in the UI, type c)
  • ỉ - \u1EC9 (in the UI, type i)
