Phonograms
are 'the sound writing' signs to represent the sounds of the word rather then picture objects. They are either a (uniliteral) (biliteral) (triliteral). For an example the uniliteral /t/ and /r/ the 2 glyphs on end of the word for divinity /nTr/.
𓊹 on its own says nTr but then you add the two glyphs /r/𓂋 and /t/𓏏 to help spell out the word.
