Does the current Egyptian Hieroglyphic proposal support the works of
E. A. Budge? I know that Budge gets little respect among
Egyptologists, but 20 of his works are in print by Dover Publications
and widely disseminated, and they're somewhere on my list to scan and
transcribe for Project Gutenberg. As extremely popular works, I'd like
to know that I could accurately represent them in Unicode Egyptian.
Without making a detailed comparison, I can't be sure, but I would be
surprised if you couldn't: Budge's representation of Egyptian writing wasn't
peculiar and I don't think he used unusual characters that might not
be encoded. As far as I know, the criticism of his work has to with
his translations and crude grammatical analysis, not his choice of
characters.
