𝣶
U+1D8F6 "𝣶" Signwriting Hand-Fist Thumb Heel is a symbol from the SignWriting script, a writing system used to visually represent sign languages. This specific character depicts a hand forming a fist with the thumb positioned at the heel of the hand, meaning the thumb is folded across or near the base of the palm rather than extended outward or placed on the fingers. It is used to encode a precise handshape in sign language documents, allowing writers to capture subtle variations in hand configuration for accurate transcription and communication.
