The Egyptian hieroglyph for "black" in Gardiner's sign list is numbered I6. Its phonetic value is Error: {{Lang}}: unrecognized language code: ety (help).

Budge's dictionary has 27 entries using the hieroglyph, many referencing items of black; the first two entries deal with an item that 'burns out'-things that 'come to an end'.)

The hieroglyph is commonly explained as a brick of black-charcoal, with flames arising out of one end.

km.t

Ancient Egypt is commonly referred to as 'km.t' , with the theorized reference to the black Nile Delta earth. The determinative O49 is used to designate the term for 'country, inhabited land', called the niw.t (a political designate). It is a circle with a cross which represents a city intersection.

in hieroglyphs

The 198 BC Rosetta Stone uses the Black (hieroglyph) three times to make the name of Egypt: Kam-t, or Kem-t. Of the 22 uses, 7 are for another name of egypt as Baq-t.

In the Demotic (Egyptian) text of the Rosetta Stone, the demotic for Egypt is 'Kmi' . There are three uses of the actual Kmi, but 6 others referenced as Kmi refer to Baq-t in the hieroglyphs; there is one actual 'Bki' in the Demotic text that is used in a pairing sentence, for emphasis: "... Baq-t... and... Kam-t."-(Rosetta Stone, line 6)
