One modern equivalent of hieroglyphics is the use of emoji in digital communication. Both hieroglyphics and emoji utilize symbols to convey meaning, and can often be understood without the need for written language. Emoji are commonly used in text messages, social media posts, and emails to express emotions, convey information, or add emphasis to a message, similar to how hieroglyphics were used in ancient Egyptian society. Additionally, emoji are also used as visual cues in signage and advertising, much like hieroglyphics were used in hieroglyphic inscriptions on temples and tombs in ancient Egypt.
