    𓌂𓐍𓏏𓁐 𓄿𓈖𓎼𓂋𓇌 decodes to S42-x-t-B1 A-n-g-r-y using Manuel de Codage’s hieroglyphic alphabet

    The transliteration is bꜣ-ḫ-t-st ꜣḫ-n-g-r-y or sḫm-ḫ-t-st ꜣḫ-n-g-r-y, Gardiner’s code is S42 Aa1 X1 B1 G1 N35 W11 D21 M17a

    I don’t know when U+13430 EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH VERTICAL JOINER is used. When I paste the MdC code here, I see some above each other but not when I paste that back here or in UnicodePad, so it looks like the rendering works different in different contexts. The converter may be wrong: only :, not - should cause characters to stack, and it should prevent that with a ZWNJ or force that (if supported) with U+13430. Also, 𓏭 is just a variant way of writing 𓇌, much like 𝚊/𝑎, ϕ/φ, Л/Λ, 論/论, 𓁔/𓁕 etc.

    Given that the ASCII code for 𓄿𓈖𓎼𓂋𓇌 is an English word and contextually sensible, I spent way too much time trying to find what someone must have typed into some converter to get 𓌂𓐍𓏏𓁐 but I couldn’t find a satisfactory answer. Note that the MdC code never contains single letters CEJOUV so they may have been dropped, and even more letters are dropped to get phonemic codes in examples I’ve seen like “Tutankhamun” → twt-Ꜥnḫ-ꞽmn → 𓇋𓏠𓈖𓏏𓅱𓏏𓋹𓋾𓉺𓇓.

    I have a small number of fine hairs on the back of my fingers’ first section. That’s the sharpest and most sensitive body part that fulfils the criteria and I think I could “scan” the screen with it. I also remember feeling something with the tips of my fingers, maybe ionic wind or capacitive current flow at 60 Hz (refresh rate).

    Wild that most households just used to have a 25kV particle (electron) accelerator but maybe an array of 3x800x600 transistors (TFTs) wired by transparent coating on glass is wilder.
