Hieroglyph

This is a collection of pictographic special characters that are useful for online use.

Hieroglyphs are characters made in the shape of objects. In other words, they are pictures of things. These are special characters that can be used in social media services and chats, derived from the hieroglyphs that humans first started using. The hieroglyphs provided by snskeyboard.com are Egyptian hieroglyphs. Since Egyptian hieroglyphs have been used for a very long time, they have undergone significant changes over time. Generally, languages tend to become simpler in form and increase in the number of characters as eras change. Therefore, later hieroglyphs have a complex system that functions similarly to phonetic characters rather than literally creating pictures. There are so many Egyptian hieroglyphs that mastering all of them takes a long time. However, we focus on the forms of Egyptian hieroglyphs themselves. Because the existence and shape of objects form the structure of hieroglyphs, they can be considered suitable for use as emoticons.

Did you know that there are already special characters used today that are hieroglyphs? For example, characters that mimic a shining star in the sky (☆) or a heart shape (♡) are examples of hieroglyphs.
