Hello,
The glyphs should be
>
> 𓅓 U+13153 EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH G017
> 𓂞 U+1309E EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH D037 <<< NOT the same sign
> 𓎡 U+133A1 EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH V031
> 𓏏 U+133CF EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH X001
> 𓏦 U+133E6 EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH Z002A
> 𓀭 U+1302D EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH A040

regarding RTL hieroglyphs, the use cases in publications would be :
a) mixed with RTL characters in RTL modern writing systems (Arabic, Hebrew)
b) in diplomatic edition. In this case, the text is likely to be rather long, and might be mixed with
modern script (line/position indications, short latin text indicating lacuna size,
ecdotic information…)
Best regards,
Serge Rosmorduc
