Unicode contains a sizeable number of signs, enough at least to cover most needs for Hieratic texts; from Unicode 12 onward, a number of operators from the Manuel de Codage have been added.

Documentation

• All documents about Egyptian Hieroglyphs on the Unicode Web site
• The Unikemet database contains a description of the signs in Unicode 16; you can find a documentation about Unikemet, and the database in text format ;
• A snapshot of the sources for the Unikemet files; it does contains more information, in particular comments about some of the signs.

Projects and fonts

• Andrew Glass's font tools project, which provides a SIL-licenced font which supports the advanced operators in Unicode. The font is called eot.ttf.
• Mark-Jan Nederhof "new Gardiner font" a full rendering of Unicode 5.2 hieroglyphs, plus most of Unicode 16 signs.
• Hieroglyphs Everywhere, from Bob Richmond, dedicated to Unicode and hieroglyphs.
• SINUHE the Hierotyper, a software developped by Marwan Kilani, So Miyagawa and David Chapman, to type hieroglyphic texts using Unicode
• Opentypehiero Hieroglyphic fonts for Unicode, with a software to adapt them to specific needs, with operator support.
• HieroJax by Mark-Jan Nederhof (see also his other softwares, above).
