There are a bunch of hieratic signs (the dot that you mention, but also other types of strokes, special crosses, etc.) that are regularly used in hieroglyphic transcriptions of hieratic texts (especially of administrative ones), but are not yet in Unicode. Couldn’t we envision to deal with several of them at the same time and to prepare a more comprehensive document about the hieratic signs in hieroglyphic transcriptions in general? Or is it wiser to include one after another?
