Hieroglyphs were intended to write the ancient Egyptian language, not English. The only exceptions were the names of foreigners such as Ptolemy and Cleopatra.
In hieroglyphs the words meaning peace are: hrt and Htp (sometimes Htpw). The vowels were not written so we can never know how these words were said.
Hieroglyphs enabled scribes to write the same word in many different ways, which was useful for when space was lacking or when there was plenty of space to fill.
For example, the word Htpw can be written very simply with a rolled papyrus scroll tied around its middle, plus the three short vertical strokes indicating a plural. It can also be written out in full with the vertical twisted rope sign (H) plus a semicircular loaf (t), plus a square reed mat (t), plus the rolled papyrus sign indicating abstract concepts. Or the H can be left out and it still reads exactly the same.
