There are examples of hieroglyph formatting in section 11.4 of the
Unicode Standard: they show the sequence of codepoints and the
expected display.  Do these work correctly with that font?  I mean
figures 11-2, 11-3, and 11-4, as well as tables 11-2 and 11-3.  Here,
we are free from the need to be aegyptologists, since Someone™ did the
work for us.
