Line 2,724:
As a preceding version was determined to be "let's just say ... not Egyptian" we submit an alternate which is hopefully more "Egyptian". Now only handles positive Integers up to 10 million, mostly due to limitations on Egyptian notation for numbers.
 
Note: if the below is just a mass of "unknown glyph" boxes, try [https://www.google.com/get/noto/help/install/ installing] Googles free [https://wwwfonts.google.com/get/noto/#sans-egypfonts?noto.lang=egy_Egyp&noto.script=Egyp Noto Sans Egyptian Hieroglyphs font].
 
This is intended to be humorous and should not be regarded as good (or even sane) programming practice. That being said, 𓂽 & 𓂻 really are the ancient Egyptian symbols for addition and subtraction, and the Egyptian number notation is as accurate as possible. Everything else owes more to whimsy than rigor.
