Apple isn't in charge of Emojis, the Unicode Consortium is, which is a universal organization in charge of maintaining all emojis across all manufacturers. You can read the requirements and submit a proposal below.

In addition, newest iPhones, specifically the 15 Pro and later which support Apple Intelligence have the capability to create custom emojis, called Genmojis, based on your own descriptions.

Nobody speaks ancient Egyptian anymore. Nevertheless, Apple does include Egyptian Hieroglyphic symbols, as well as other historic writing systems used in Africa such as Phoenician, Greek, and Hebrew.
For current languages, Apple includes symbols for Meroitic Hieroglyphic, Meroitic Cursive, Tifinagh, Ethiopic, Osmanya, Bamum, Adlam, Bassa, Mende Kikakui, Nko, ***, and of course Arabic and Latin scripts.
I'm no expert on these things. I just went through the Wikipedia list of writing systems in Africa and found those included in Apple's Unicode symbols. I could've missed some.
Add another one to the list of mystery 3-letter redacted swear words. I don't know why the Liberian V a i script would be on the list.
