Urdu does not use hieroglyphs, nor do any Asian languages -- Chinese et al. use their own forms of pictographic writing
'''Hieroglyphics''' are a form of [[writing]] developed in ancient [[Egypt]]. There exists two different sets of hieroglyphs: a more complex form used in carving, and a shorthand script known as demotic. Hieroglyphs are no longer used in Egypt, but they are used in modern [[Urdu]] and a few other languages of South Asia.
