Maybe ښ would work to distinguish ẖ?

Of everything I saw at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Cairo, one of my favorites was CG 25216, the largest ostracon copy of “The Story of Sinuhe.”

On February 18, 1827, German egyptologist Heinrich Karl Brugsch was born. Brugsch was associated with Auguste Mariette in his excavations at Memphis and pioneered in the decipherment of Demotic, the simplified script of the later Egyptian periods. He also recognized the Semitic side of Egyptian grammar, thus enabling a far more comprehensive and systematic understanding of hieroglyphs.

Several of the signs in Egyptian hieroglyphs are birds. Here are some common bird signs and their meanings/uses:

@brendanhainline I keep hoping unicode support will mean we can work with hieroglyphic transcription directly. Font support is nearly there.
Of course that loses the "how I read this sign" information, so still not as good as cuneiform transliteration practice. I've seen people use furigana markup to annotate #hieroglyphs with traditional transliteration or "hierocoptic" which I think works pretty well.
That's a rich text feature still, but so are things like lemma numbers you also need for comparative analysis, so not an unreasonable choice to build tools around.

I now know to put a couple of sheets of blotting paper behind the page I'm working on. Also, my cat will sit on my notebook and tablet, interrupting my flow. Also: bird signs make me crazy.
