Mapping Gardiner's codes to Unicode + generating corresponding images.
Project description
gardiner2unicode: Mapping Egyptian Hieroglyphs
A Python3.6+ package that
- provides a convenient out-of-the-box way to access the mapping of Gardiner's Sign List codes to unicode IDs;
- generates hieroglyphs as images.
A list of hieroglyphs was copied from this Wikipedia template.
A 2.06 version of NewGardiner font is used by default. Please note that since 2.05 its license is OFL 1.1.
One can use any other font with UnicodeGlyphGenerator
.
Installation
pip install -U gardiner2unicode
Usage example
from gardiner2unicode import GardinerToUnicodeMap, UnicodeGlyphGenerator
g2u = GardinerToUnicodeMap()
print(g2u.to_unicode_hex("A1"))
ugg = UnicodeGlyphGenerator()
ugg.generate_image("𓉓", save_path_png="O3_image.png")
Output:
