Hieroglyph-Braille Dictionary

This corner here is a dictionary to show you the correspondence between the Egyptian hieroglyphs and the braille. Note that the braille data shown here are not the official ones since this corner is a part of "Tentative Proposal for Brailling the Egyptian Hieroglyphs."
This corner arranges the glyphs according to "Gardiner's sign list" and Unicode. Note that the names and the usages of the glyphs and the braille data are not exact nor perfect. They are still in research.
