Sekhmet was a scourge upon humanity, slaughtering villages and drinking the blood of her victims. One village had the clever idea of mixing in red dye to their beer, covering the ground, and then hiding.
Sekhmet thought it was a village she had already slaughtered, drank all the "blood", got drunk, then slept off her lust for genocide. After she woke up, Sekhmet took up healing for a change.

I don't know when U+13430 EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH VERTICAL JOINER is used. When I paste the MdC code here, I see some above each other but not when I paste that back here or in UnicodePad, so it looks like the rendering works different in different contexts. The converter may be wrong: only :, not - should cause characters to stack, and it should prevent that with a ZWNJ or force that (if supported) with U+13430. Maybe try another?
Also, 𓏭 is just a variant way of writing 𓇌, much like 𝚊/𝑎, ϕ/φ, Л/Λ, 論/论, 𓁔/𓁕 etc.
Given that the ASCII code for 𓄿𓈖𓎼𓂋𓇌 is an English word and contextually sensible, I spent way too much time trying to find what someone must have typed into some converter to get 𓌂𓐍𓏏𓁐 but I couldn't find a satisfactory answer. Note that the MdC code never contains single letters CEJOUV so they may have been dropped, and even more letters are dropped to get phonemic codes in examples I've seen like "Tutankhamun" → twt-Ꜥnḫ-ꞽmn → 𓇋𓏠𓈖𓏏𓅱𓏏𓋹𓋾𓉺𓇓.
Random weird symbols, you're from a non-US country -> Clearly must be something related to you. On-point for DDG's always-shitty results, at least from my experience. :<
Try the Tutankhamun code. I see home pages of Google Translate, Wiktionary, Roblox and some Unicode tables, and a Wiktionary entry for another hieroglyph. Only the last result actually contains the hieroglyph sequwnce. With local results enabled, I get the same nonsense but in Czech.
Thank you based Internet autist for doing the legwork and sharing your obsession of lexicography and cryptography 🩵
I think your initial hypothesis is correct, that the author simply pasted an English word phrase into an English/ASCII to Hieroglyphic converter, with the second word being Angry, and shit out some hieroglyphics.
It has a lot of flavor text that seems to be more focused on "use this to make a Unicode representation, which is SEO/AEO/GEO friendly because it can be turned into keywords/tokens" than "use this because it's accurate to the MdC spec"
Academic Digitization and SEO/GEO
Converting your academic documents using this tool isn't just about typography; it's about Semantic SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization). When large language models (LLMs) and Generative Engines crawl your academic website, they process Unicode hieroglyphs significantly better than legacy ASCII strings, boosting your academic visibility and citation potential across global research networks.

being the god of pestilence and healing is like being the god of toilets and beer, guaranteed not to run out of business
Yeah, you know, funny you should mention beer:
Sekhmet was a scourge upon humanity, slaughtering villages and drinking the blood of her victims. One village had the clever idea of mixing in red dye to their beer, covering the ground, and then hiding.

completely coincidental, nice story thanks
Vertical integration, head tap.
Well then the ultimate loophole is being the god of vertical integration. Wait I think that is called a shareholder.
In a vertical integration rush, sell vertical integration seminars!
alot of gods , or personification deity represent duality in thier nature, like gods of death also posesses life giving abilities.
What a weird pair to use. Hated your comment. Blocked. 👍
Thanks appreciate the hate

Damn, DuckDuckGo is bad at searching weird characters. Should have checked that, thanks
Prague is my ISP-reported location. Strange that DDG uses it although I disabled results specific to Czechia.

These converters are usually not AI but this one is almost certainly vibe-coded:

Hahah, I was hoping someone would have the same though as me but more free time!

Is this
𓉸𓁒^𓀓^?
That's quite the resume.
"Yes, I decided to minor in Healing just to round things out".
Or they are describing war as pestilence and healing.
Or more likely they aren't using the Oxford comma, like normal people.
Yeah, I don't think Oxford was around at the same time as Sekhmet.
Is this loss?
no, it’s dns
it’s always dns
