Unicode Version 17.0
𝣷
U+1D8F7 "𝣷" Signwriting Hand-Fist Thumb Side Diagonal is a symbol from the Sutton SignWriting script, which is used to represent the physical gestures, movements, and handshapes of sign languages in written form. This specific character depicts a hand in a fist position with the thumb extended outward and oriented diagonally to the side, capturing a precise handshape and orientation that can form a component of a signed word or phrase. By encoding such detailed visual elements as a discrete digital glyph, Unicode enables this sign language notation to be stored, transmitted, and displayed consistently across different devices and platforms, supporting both linguistic study and communication for deaf and signing communities.
