Is there a symbols package that has the egyptian symbol djed

overleafsymbolsunicode

I want to use the djed symbol(𓊽) in my itemize for creative purposes (I am using Overleaf to do this activity). Does anyone know a package or a way to create the symbol?

Best Answer

Using LuaLaTeX (or XeLaTeX) you could include a font containing that symbol. Then you could use enumitem to change the itemize symbol:

\documentclass[]{article}

\usepackage{fontspec}
\newfontfamily\hiero{Noto Sans Egyptian Hieroglyphs}
%\newcommand\djed{{\hiero 𓊽}} % if your editor doesn't like this input use the next line
\newcommand\djed{{\hiero ^^^^^^0132bd}}


\usepackage{enumitem}

\begin{document}
\begin{itemize}[label=\djed]
  \item foo
  \item bar
\end{itemize}
\end{document}

You can use albatross to check which font on your system contains the symbol, for that use albatross 0x132bd on your command line (albatross should be contained in a recent TeX Live/MikTeX installation).
