U+1CDE6 "𜷦" Top Half Standing Person Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𜷦
U+1CDE6 "𜷦" Top Half Standing Person is a relatively recent addition to the Unicode Standard, introduced in Version 15.0 as part of the Sutton SignWriting script, which is used to visually represent sign languages. This character depicts the upper body of a person in a standing position, from the head down to the waist, with arms typically shown at the sides. It is not an emoji or a generic pictograph but a structural glyph within a highly specialized writing system, where it serves as a base or modifier for constructing more complex sign language symbols. Its purpose is primarily linguistic rather than decorative, helping to encode the posture and spatial arrangement of the upper torso in signed communication.
