The Egyptian Hieroglyph Format Controls block has four variation sequences defined for standardized variants.[3]
Variation selector-1 (VS1) (U+FE00) can be used to expand "lost" sign shading to achieve 'continuous shading' for the following characters:[4]
- U+13443 π EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH LOST SIGN
- U+13444 π EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH HALF LOST SIGN
- U+13445 π EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH TALL LOST SIGN
- U+13446 π EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH WIDE LOST SIGN
