The first link below has information that may help.

The second link is part of the same site and this displays equivalent hieroglyphics for on-screen letter input.
It doesn't look like there was a letter x so you'd probably have to create the sound with k+s instead. There isn't a true equivalent of v either (see the comments on the site about closest sound match)

The third link gives details of letters/alphabet derived from the hieroglyphs, and this also shows a lack of equivalents for what we are used to.

U :
The Uraeus (plural Uraei or Uraeuses) is the stylized, upright form of an Egyptian spitting cobra (or snake / serpent / asp), used as a symbol of sovereignty, royalty, deity and divine authority in ancient Egypt. Uraeus is a Greek word that may have its origins in ancient Egyptian, meaning "she who rears up".

thats all i could get for u, only one letter:)
