Need Help, Name of Betelgeuse from Hieroglyphs? (no replies)

@I'm so fascinated by the star Betelgeuse and I want to search the Decan Catalogs of Ancient Egyptian records. However I don't know the Egyptian Hieroglyph representation of Betelgeuse. What I do know is the word Betelgeuse would not be the Hieroglyph representation because, Bayer gave it its name.

Quote

Nomenclature. α Orionis (Latinised to Alpha Orionis) is the star's designation given by Johann Bayer in 1603. The traditional name Betelgeuse is derived from either the Arabic إبط الجوزاء Ibṭ al-Jauzā', meaning \"the armpit of Orion\", or يد الجوزاء Yad al-Jauzā' \"the hand of Orion\".

Could someone please reply with the correct Hieroglyph representation for the star Betelgeuse? So I can do some research on the Egyptian Decan Catalogs.
