Since he was raised as an Egyptian royal, wouldn’t his signature be Hieroglyphs?

The Three-Fox-Skins (hieroglyph) is Gardiner's sign listed no. F31, in the series of parts of animals. It consists of 3-fox skins tied at one end, and hanging, creating flowing skins.

In Egyptian hieroglyphs it has the value ms.[1] The word in Egyptian means birth, and related items: to bring forth, produce, fashion, create, etc.

The 3-fox-skin hieroglyph has its origins in the early dynasties of Ancient Egypt, and can be found in multiple usage on the Palermo Stone, (creation or inauguration of events).

It must have been a three-dog night.

That's a good question.

While hieroglyphics were the formal script of Egypt, used almost exclusively on tombs, memorials, and official documentation, a cursive form called hieratic was used for more practical purposes like record-keeping on papyrus.

I'm guessing if Moses was going to leave a "Kilroy was here" type of inscription out in the middle of nowhere, he would have used this simpler form.
