Abstract :
The writing system for the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs in the computer can be considered a simplified Japanese input system. By using the analogy to the Japanese writing method, the fluent writing system for hieroglyphs can be constructed. Such a computer aided writing system for hieroglyphs could revive the ancient Egyptian arts of typographies without pain that the ancient Egyptian secretaries had felt. Many ancient Egyptian enthusiasts could use that system, so that the ancient Egyptian languages could be widely recognized as a world cultural heritage.
