Many kinds of signs, advertising logos and trademarks are hieroglyphics, in the sense that the little pictures are read as words. The sign for the men's room or for a handicapped parking space is taken as a word. The same is true of numerical forms such as $2.5m, which is not read in alphabetic left-to-right order as "dollar two and a half em," but as "Two and a half million dollars."

OF COURSE!!! A lot of people use hieroglyphics... It only depends what kind you are talking about. hieroglyphics is coded (which is not coded if you uncode it!) writing such as English. Hieroglyphics is not just any writing though. It is a writing or enscripture that you would find on stone that is made up of many pictures. The pictures represent words. So it pretty much is coded writing... but not really - Shadow.cobra
