Proposal suggests adding Hieroglyphs to texting languages on digital devices
The Unicode Consortium has released a revised draft of encoding Egyptian hieroglyphics proposing that over 2000 Hieroglyphs may soon be available for use on cell phones, computers, and other digital devices.
The draft is the product of cooperation between the Unicode Consortium, ancient linguists, font designers, and the federal government in attempt to study, preserve, and then digitally represent ancient and endangered languages through the use of computer code, according to a report published by Brooklyn-based arts online magazine hyperallergic.
