U+1D877 "๐กท" Signwriting Hand-Oval Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
๐กท
U+1D877 "๐กท" Signwriting Hand-Oval is a symbol from the SignWriting script, a writing system designed to represent the movements and shapes of sign languages. Specifically, this character denotes a handshape formed into an oval or rounded configuration, used to convey a particular manual gesture in signed communication. The SignWriting system, created by Valerie Sutton in the 1970s, breaks down sign language into visual glyphs for hand shapes, orientations, locations, and movements, allowing for a written record of sign language that is not dependent on any spoken language. U+1D877, as part of the Sutton SignWriting block in Unicode, enables digital representation and sharing of this specialized notation across platforms and devices.
