Dear Unicode list members (CC Michel Suignard),
the Unicode proposal L2/20-068
<https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2020/20068-n5128-ext-hieroglyph.pdf>,
“Revised draft for the encoding of an extended Egyptian Hieroglyphs
repertoire, Groups A to N” (
https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2020/20068-n5128-ext-hieroglyph.pdf ) by
Michel Suignard contains a very interesting hieroglyph at position
*U+13579 EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH A-12-054, which seems to represent a man
with a laptop, as can be obvious in the attached image.
I am curious about the source of this hieroglyph: in the table
acompannying the document, its sources are said to be “Hieroglyphica
extension (various sources)” with number A58C and “Hornung & Schenkel
(2007, last modified in 2015)”, but with no number (A;), which seems
unique in the table. It leads me to think this glyph only exist in some
modern font, either as a joke, or for some computer related modern use.
Can anyone infirm or confirm this intuition ?
Frédéric
