No one sign meant "trouble" in hieroglyphs. The ancient Egyptian language has several words with that meaning:

Ahw

iyt

qsnt

Snw

(The letters A and i are used for certain consonant sounds not found in English - all vowels are unwritten).

The "determinative" sign placed after these words is the picture of a small bird, which indicates anything bad, weak or little. It does not on its own signify "trouble".
