The simplest system I've found useful uses a font with four colours as follows: The key issue is usability and I've found some techniques that work well in specialist software can be over-complex when used in plain text editor software or work processors. I've also experimented with context-specific colours in fonts and alternate colour palettes. I've used up to 18 colours in experiments with polychromatic proofreading of hieroglyphic. I've found use of a chromatic font a more practical tool than using markup for chromatic highlighting for proofreading purposes.
Use of colour to highlight certain of these characteristics can aid identification of patterns and possible transcription errors. Some hieroglyph forms exist but are rarely encountered in historical documents. Some signs could be easily confused with others.
In the case of Egyptian Hieroglyphs, some signs are predominantly used as phonograms, others as ideograms. The basic principles of chromatic proofreading are obvious. Chrome on Android 7.1 appears to be still missing polychromatic support and I've not had the opportunity to try Android 8.0.

Windows Notepad still lacks polychromatic font support (as of the Windows 10 "Fall Creators Update" released today) although Window 10 in general has excellent polychromatic support. For instance macOS contained very limited polychromatic font support until the 10.13 "High Sierra" release last month. I've not discovered much on the web about chromatic proofreading possibly because chromatic fonts are relatively new and not as well supported in software as might be expected. A useful application of chromatic (or polychromatic) fonts is proofreading of text, an especially valuable technique for complex scripts such as Egyptian hieroglyphic, CJK writing and mathematical notation.
