Notes
1.^ As of Unicode version 15.1
2.^ Grey areas indicate non-assigned code points

The Egyptian Hieroglyph Format Controls block has four variation sequences defined for standardized variants.[3]

Variation selector-1 (VS1) (U+FE00) can be used to expand "lost" sign shading to achieve 'continuous shading' for the following characters:[4]

  • U+13443 𓑃 EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH LOST SIGN
  • U+13444 π“‘„ EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH HALF LOST SIGN
  • U+13445 π“‘… EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH TALL LOST SIGN
  • U+13446 𓑆 EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH WIDE LOST SIGN
