Common questions about Ꜣmun, Wind, Kingship, Thebes, and Unicode restoration
The original form 𓇋𓏠𓈖 preserves phonetic distinctions that plain amun cannot show.
Ꜣmun means Hidden One (Egyptian jmn; vocalized Ꜣmun) in the egyptian tradition.
Each is a historically defensible restoration. Jmn.com is the alt form: Egyptological consonantal skeleton (reed-leaf j-m-n); Amon.com is the alt form: Vocalized transliteration: Amon; Amen.com is the alt form: Vocalized transliteration: Amen.
Plain ASCII amun strips the stress, length, and script that make the name specific. Unicode restoration returns the name to its original written dignity.
