The Rosetta stone and the Coptic language were what Champollion used to get a start on deciphering hieroglyphs. However, it soon became necessary to consider other inscriptions in order to broaden the vocabulary.
The Rosetta Stone was a carved slab, called a stele, which was written during the reign of Ptolemy V. in 196 CE. It was discovered by the Napoleon's army in 1799 at Fort Julien, near Rashid (Rosetta), Egypt.
The writing on the stele had the same exact message written in three separate scripts (hieroglyphic, Egyptian Demotic, and Greek), and because Greek was a fully known language, it provided the key to deciphering the ancient hieroglyphic writing of Egypt.
Furthermore, all the proper names were circled in a format called a "cartouche" which made them easy to identify and decode.
Historians used the Roseta Stone to decode hieroglyphics.
the french found the Rosetta stone, which had the same text in domotic and hieroglyphic Egyptian, and greek. so they used the greek writing to decode the other languages

Nothing is used, since the entire writing system is known. It's just a matter of learning the language.If you are talking about the first deciphering of the hieroglyphics in 1822, that was done with the help of the Rosetta stone.
