Can anyone point me in the right direction for the codes for characters
commonly employed in ancient Egyptian transliteration (NB: not the
hieroglyphs themselves!) and based on Gardiner's Egyptian Grammar?
I'm thinking especially of the following:
the sign used for aleph (looks like a 3, but isn't, obviously)
the sign used for yod (looks like a i with a right ring tick above it)
the sign used interchangeably for q (looks like a k with a dot beneath
it)
Any help most gratefully received,
------------
