How did the Egyptians used hieroglyphs to communicate

Since most people couldn’t learn the 2 languages; after all, hieroglyphs did have over 700 characters, so select people, called scribes, were taught the languages of Ancient Egypt to write them down for other people.

Explain what hieroglyphics were and who used them.
