We want to end up with a decent, extensible, clean, standard, that would be usable by all programs that deal with hieroglyphs.
Contributions are welcome.
The Manuel de Codage is a standard for encoding Egyptian hieroglyphic texts. It was written in the 80s, and much inspired by the most usable program available at that time, which was called glyph. But the Manuel is getting old. For quite a long time now, nobody has been really using the manuel as such. Instead, people are using extensions proposed by the different hieroglyphic typesetting systems, like Winglyph or Macscribe.
