Research direction
Start by reading the linked Unicode L2/24-238 proposal to understand the rotated variants requested for Egyptian hieroglyphs. Inspect the font-generation entry points and existing hieroglyph handling, then determine how the variants should be represented in the font. Done means the Unicode v16 rotated variants are implemented and rendered correctly.
