These are all Egyptian hieroglyphs.
This...
𓆝
...is a flathead mullet. The glyph is used for the animal (ꜥḏw), and apparently also as the biliteral sequence /ꜥḏ/, but only in the word for "country commissioner" (ꜥḏ-mr).
This...
𓆟
...is a petrocephalus bane. It was used for the biliteral sequence /bs/.
This...
𓆞
...is an elephant-snout fish. It was used for the animal (ẖꜣt) and also the biliteral sequence /ẖꜣ/.
But there are more!
Say hello to...
𓆜
...the barbel...
𓆛
...the tilapia...
𓆡
...the puffer...
𓆢
...and, somehow, the catfish.
I don't know why the catfish looks like Zoidberg as a fish. Maybe catfish were different in that place and time. But yeah, don't leave those feisty boys out when fish-posting!
