Gardiner Sign List Index for InScribe 2004

About this version of the sign list index
The starting point for contemporary computer coding schemes for Middle Egyptian
hieroglyphs is the List of Hieroglyphic Signs given in Egyptian Grammar (Third
Edition, Alan Gardiner, Griffith Institute, Oxford 1957) [EG] pp 438-543. The codes are
summarized in the Index to the foregoing sign-list pp 554-6.
The list presented here is provided as a convenient reference for the basic set of signs
supported by most hieroglyphic software and fonts. InScribe 2004 provides around 400
additional hieroglyphs.
This version of the sign list index follows that given in Egyptian Grammar with the
following adjustments:
Signs are given in the InScribe 2004 hieroglyphic font. This follows the style of
the Oxford/Gardiner font but is not a direct reproduction.
The *d signs in Gardiner notation now follow the modern convention of using
letters instead, for instance A17a is written for A17*.
Some signs given in the EG List of Hieroglyphic Signs were not assigned codes
explicitly or given in the EG Index. Examples are the double reed and the
vertical papyrus scroll . Some are customarily treated as basic Gardiner codes in
the literature and software. Those given in the first release of InScribe are
incorporated here.
Codes that are listed out of sequence in EG Index (such as Aa4 placed after
W11) are also given in their native group.
Codes not given in EG are compatible with those published in Hieroglyphica (Nicolas
Grimal, Jochen Hallof, Dirk van der Plas, Second Edition, Paris/Utrecht, 2000) [HG]
except for M17a and M22a. HG assigned M17a and M22a to other hieroglyphs in the
2000 edition contrary to accepted use and this should be ignored.
