Egyptian Hieroglyph Man with a Laptop

[Shawn Steele via Unicode]

I'm not opposed to a sub-bloc for "Modern Hieroglyphs"  

I confess that even though I know nothing about Hieroglyphs, that I find it fascinating that such a thoroughly dead script might still be living in some way, even if it's only a little bit.

You want "dubious"?!

You should see the hundreds of strange characters already encoded in the CJK *Unified* Ideographs blocks, as recently documented in great detail by Ken Lunde:

Compared to many of those, a hieroglyph of a man (or woman) holding a laptop is positively orthodox!
