This decodes to ⌷xt⌷ Angry using Manuel de Codage’s hieroglyphic alphabet
Thank you based Internet autist for doing the legwork and sharing your obsession of lexicography and cryptography 🩵
I think your initial hypothesis is correct, that the author simply pasted an English word into an English/ASCII to Hieroglyphic converter, with the second word being Angry, the likely first word being “Very” (4) and shit out some hieroglyphics.
Ironic, considering the punchline of the joke
These converters are usually not AI but this one is almost certainly vibe-coded:
toolkitsplus.com/tools/…/mdc-hieroglyphs
It has a lot of flavor text that seems to be more focused on “use this to make a Unicode representation, which is SEO/AEO/GEO friendly because it can be turned into keywords/tokens” than "use this because it’s accurate to the MdC spec"
Academic Digitization and SEO/GEO
Converting your academic documents using this tool isn’t just about typography; it’s about Semantic SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization). When large language models (LLMs) and Generative Engines crawl your academic website, they process Unicode hieroglyphs significantly better than legacy ASCII strings, boosting your academic visibility and citation potential across global research networks.
Hahah, I was hoping someone would have the same though as me but more free time!

𓌂𓐍𓏏𓁐 seems to mean Sekhmet according to Wikipedia. So the full thing is “Sekhmet angry”.

Damn, DuckDuckGo is bad at searching weird characters. Should have checked that, thanks

Random weird symbols, you’re from a non-US country -> Clearly must be something related to you. On-point for DDG’s always-shitty results, at least from my experience. :<

Try the Tutankhamun code. I see home pages of Google Translate, Wiktionary, Roblox and some Unicode tables, and a Wiktionary entry for another hieroglyph. Only the last result actually contains the hieroglyph sequwnce. With local results enabled, I get the same nonsense but in Czech.
