The smiley icons are my all time favorite, they exist to express emotions, attitudes, feelings, states of mind…

I think they are incredibly cute and fun.

Ideograms :

An ideogram or ideograph is a graphic  symbol that represents an idea, rather than a group of letters arranged according to the phonemes of a spoken language, as is done in alphabetic languages, or a strictly representational picture of a subject as may be done in illustration or photography.

Gardiner’s Sign List were he only lists the most common forms of Egyptian hieroglyphs, but he includes extensive subcategories, and also both vertical and horizontal forms for many hieroglyphs. He includes size-variation forms to aid with the reading of hieroglyphs in running blocks of text.
