Meaning & usage
Unicode encodes over a thousand genuine Egyptian hieroglyphs โ the actual writing system of the pharaohs, not clip-art. This page's main glyph is the famous Eye (Gardiner D10 family), and the grid carries the A-series (people and their occupations) in code-point order, each tile labelled with its official Unicode name. Support note: hieroglyphs need a modern font โ on older devices they may show as boxes even though the characters are correct.
Examples in use
- ๐ โ the Eye of Horus style sign
- String signs together for a cartouche look
- Works in modern browsers and Office

Frequently asked questions
Why do hieroglyphs show as boxes on my phone?
Egyptian hieroglyphs are a newer Unicode block (2009+). Devices with older fonts lack the drawings; the characters copy correctly and display on updated systems.
Do these hieroglyphs spell words?
Real hieroglyphic writing mixes sound-signs, word-signs and determinatives โ strings here are decorative unless you compose them with Egyptological care.
Why does ๐ sometimes show as a box or question mark?
The box (called tofu) means the device or font viewing it has no drawing for U+13080 (Egyptian Hieroglyph D010). The character itself is fine โ try a different font or a newer device, or use one of the variants on this page.
Is the Egyptian Hieroglyph Symbols free to use?
Yes. ๐ is a standard Unicode text character published in the Unicode Character Database. You may use it in personal and commercial documents, designs and products without permission or payment.
