Help with Translation

Does what's written on this statue actually say something, or are those just random symbols?"

Seeking Help translating the inscription on the base of this scarab...

I'm told this scarab is from the late 2nd millennium BC (Provenance Ex. estate of Christine Simons (1943-2025), West Midlands, UK; acquired 1980’s to early 2000’s)... There's a small chip on the bottom right, just FYI. If anyone could help decipher the meaning of the inscriptions, I would be eternally grateful.

Can someone recommend an app?

I need an app similar to Jsesh, but better, with more symbols and that works better than Jsesh. I'd like it for mobile, but a desktop version would be great too.

كيمي هو إسم مصر الأصلي Kimi is the original name of Egypt

Kimi “Kemet” 𓆎𓅓𓏏 𓊖 means Egypt and the whole land of Egypt, from east to west and from north to south.

This is the name known and used by all Egyptians for thousands of years, whether in the hieroglyphic, hieratic, demotic, or Coptic scripts, and all Egyptologists and scholars of the ancient Egyptian language know this fact.

If you research the frequency of this word’s occurrence in all the existing inscriptions or papyri, you will find that this word is the one primarily and universally used.
