In this paper, we review issues related to the existing hieroglyphic sign-lists, focusing especially on the problematic aspects of the 'Manuel de Codage' (1988) and of the so-called 'Hieroglyphica' (2000) for font-designers and users alike. We propose and discuss a data model for the Thot Sign-List (TSL, in prep.). This data model shall lead to the implementation of a structured and systematically referenced hieroglyphic repertoire, which should ultimately allow a sound extension of the Egyptian Hieroglyphs in Unicode.
