A web app to convert Gardiner sign codes to the equivalent Unicode Hieroglyph characters.
Make sure you have a font on your system that supports Unicode Egpytian Hieroglyphs. A list of fonts can be found here.
Type in a Gardiner sign, hit the ▼
arrow, and it will output the corresponding hieroglyph character. Gardiner signs must be written with three digits.
If you want multiple signs, you must separate the codes with a slash /
or comma ,
(e.g. A001/A017A/E004).
You can enter a string of unicode hieroglyph character, hit the ▲
arrow, and it will produce the corresponding Gardiner codes.
Though you do note have to separate the hieroglyphs with a slash /
or comma ,
it will perform quicker on long strings of text if they are there.
NOTE you cannot use text generated from JSESH. It is not unicode.
JSESH, while a fantastic tool, does not produce Unicode characters. Every unicode character is semantically distinct from another.
According to Manuel de Codage, you can encode the text—𓆭𓇍𓅓𓊵
— as M1 M18 G17 R4
or as i ii m Htp
. The text produced by JSESH (and other MdC editors) is not readable by a computer. The text has to be stored as M1 M18 G17 R4
or as i ii m Htp
, which is not semantically Egyptian (i.e. the letter i
to a computer means the Latin character i
, only later is it interpreted as an Egyptian symbol). When a text is stored as 𓆭
, the computer knows that is a semantically distinct Egyptian symbol.
This tool does not interpret text, it converts it to Egyptian characters.
Once Unicode v.12 is released, you will be able to create ligatures and quadrants.
