Unicode 12 has introduced a number of format control for hieroglyphs, and in particular "insertion controls", which are more precise than the current JSesh "ligature" operators.

  • EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH INSERT AT TOP START
  • EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH INSERT AT BOTTOM START
  • EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH INSERT AT TOP END
  • EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH INSERT AT BOTTOM END

We should add them to JSesh (perhaps not the Unicode characters themselves, but at least their semantics).

On a second thought : as the subject of the thread was compose character I assumed you were asking for the equivalent of the technical unicode code point. For the hieroglyph which looks like that, it's O6.
