Hieratic is script hieroglyphics. Below are some of the more popular signs in hieroglyphics, followed by the hieratic version (some with one or two options). Many of the characters changed over the centuries, too. These are all read from right to left. Hieroglyphics were usually from right to left, but sometimes written left to right. But, Hieratic was always written right to left.
I will be expanding this page, later.
