Some texts look better than others and inscriptions on walls tend to look very different to texts in manuscripts. In general, hieroglyphs form neat columns or rows of signs that represent many different physical things: buildings, animals, humans, pots, waterways, foodstuffs, plants and tools - and much more.
These signs represent not only sounds but also concepts and activities; learning to read them takes considerable time and effort.

Answer: Hieroglyphs were little pictures - birds, kings, gods, flagd etc. Many people think that hieroglyphs are simply little pictures. That a duck next to wavy water lines next to a feather means something like "a duck's feather on the water". In reality the hieroglyphs also had a sound related to them so the duck-water- feather could represent the sound of a person's name as well. Hieroglyphs were of two types formal pictures (a bird for example) and a shorthand form (a squiggle used to represent the picture of the bird) the clergy and formal writings used the full picture and the squiggles were used for everyday.
