There is no single hieroglyph that means "trouble." There were a number of Egyptian words that can be translated as "trouble," but they all required more than one glyph to write.
The hieroglyphic spellings of words denoting small, weak or bad things often included a picture of a sparrow as a determinative (i.e., a glyph indicating a category of meaning, rather than representing a specific sound or word). This symbol does not seem to have occurred by itself to mean "trouble," however - or any other word, for that matter.
To see the hieroglyphic spelling of an Egyptian word for "trouble," transliterated as qsnt, copy the following line, paste it into the input window at http://hieroglyphs.net/0301/cgi/pager.pl?p=04 and click "Submit." You'll notice that this word includes the sparrow determinative.

How are heiroglyphics different from the alphabet?
An alphabet is a set of symbols which are used to represent sounds. Ancient Egyptian heiroglyphs included a number of alphabetic symbols which represented sounds or combinations of sounds. They also, however, included symbols which represented words or concepts. A zigzag horizontal line represented the letter "n" but it also represented the word for water. Such symbols are like the heart in "I (heart) NY". Most words in Ancient Egyptian were spelled alphabetically but often had a determinative sign to show what kind of word it was. It would be like putting a picture of a person bent over after the word "bow" to show that it wasn't something to shoot arrows with, or the front of a boat, or something to tie your shoes with.
