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.
