These are the protective and patron goddesses of the separate Egyptian kingdoms that joined into ancient Egypt, who were both then displayed on the uraeus of Wadjet when the unification occurred and afterward considered jointly to be the protectors of Egypt and the pharaohs. One example of this is G16, nbtỉ, the ideogram for the Two Ladies, goddesses Wadjet as the cobra and Nekhbet as the white vulture. Gardiner does not cross-index signs once put on the list, other significant uses may be overlooked.

In contrast, for example, the Budge Reference has about 1,000 hieroglyphs listed in 50 pages, but with no size variations. He includes size-variation forms to aid with the reading of hieroglyphs in running blocks of text. Gardiner lists only the common forms of Egyptian hieroglyphs, but he includes extensive subcategories, and also both vertical and horizontal forms for many hieroglyphs. It is considered a standard reference in the study of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. Gardiner's Sign List is a list of common Egyptian hieroglyphs compiled by Sir Alan Gardiner.
