If you need a freely licensed font, google Noto has you covered. Fedora has it as google-noto-sans-egyptian-hieroglyphs-fonts.noarch, for example
google-noto-sans-egyptian-hieroglyphs-fonts.noarch
(this must be a fairly new addition to Noto, since I couldn’t find it last time I ‘researched’ this exact same topic)
The sans hieroglyphs in the name makes it sound like the censored version of the font.
sans stands for sans-serif.
If you don’t know what it actually means
How has this remained a secret for so long?
It might be new. It’s showing on my phone but other android users are saying it isn’t there
The codepoints have been around since at least 2016: https://twitter.com/unicode/status/722133439726505984
my Android phone doesn’t seem to support them out of the box
Meh. There are an awful lot of code points, and not so many native speakers of hieroglyphs. If you go through the spec you’ll see all sorts of stuff.
The question in my mind is why this post has so many upvotes.
Because boys will be boys.
