I tried to use the https://www.ctan.org/pkg/hieroglf package, but I couldn't find the right characters in it.

Well, if you can't find a glyph in symbols-a4, chances are, said glyph doesn't exist for usage in LaTeX.
OTOH, if you're using lualatex/xelatex, you may wish to expand your search to include font files containing said glyphs...
