Hieroglyphics Translator

Write like an Egyptian scribe - and decode it back.

This page bundles a hieroglyph font so the signs render on any device. Pasted elsewhere they may still show as boxes on devices without the font — the characters themselves are correct Unicode.

About the Hieroglyphics Translator

This hieroglyphics translator maps every English letter to the closest sign of the classic Egyptian uniliteral alphabet - the vulture for A, the owl for M, the water ripple for N, the mouth for R. Type "Cleopatra" and watch it become the same kind of signs a scribe would have carved into a temple wall three thousand years ago.

It works in both directions: encode your name or a secret message for a puzzle, classroom worksheet or tattoo sketch, then paste the glyphs back to decode them. Flip on the cartouche to ring your name like a pharaoh, and export the result as a PNG image for invitations or worksheets. Everything runs locally in your browser with real Unicode characters from the Egyptian Hieroglyphs block - nothing is uploaded.
