You need a complete book, not a chart. Most internet websites offer completely misleading values for hieroglyphs and they should be avoided at all costs. Hieroglyphs are far too complex and numerous to list on a single chart.

The most widely-known and acclaimed book on hieroglyphs is Sir Alan Gardiner's Egyptian Grammar (although some of the grammatical content is outdated and not completely correct); Hilary Wilson's Understanding Hieroglyphs is a simple and straightforward introduction; Discovering Egyptian Hieroglyphs by Zauzich is a useful guide to reading genuine texts; the best modern book on the subject is How To Read Egyptian Hieroglyphs from The British Museum Press, available through Amazon.

The first thing to learn is that "hieroglyphic" is an adjective, so it has to be used descriptively: "hieroglyphic writing", "hieroglyphic texts" and so on. The noun is hieroglyphs.
