U+1D817 "𝠗" Signwriting Hand-Fist Index Middle Conjoined Middle Bent Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𝠗

U+1D817 "𝠗" Signwriting Hand-Fist Index Middle Conjoined Middle Bent is a specific symbol within the SignWriting script, a writing system used to represent sign languages visually. This character depicts a hand configuration where the fingers form a fist with the index and middle fingers conjoined (touching each other) along their full length, and the middle finger is bent at the first knuckle, typically pointing downward or forward. Originating from the SignWriting repertoire developed by Valerie Sutton, this glyph captures a precise handshape that can be combined with other symbols to denote movement, location, or facial expression in the transcription of signed languages. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard allows for consistent digital representation and exchange of this linguistic notation across different platforms and devices.
