U+1D933 "𝤳" Signwriting Movement-Wallplane Cross Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𝤳

U+1D933 "𝤳" Signwriting Movement-Wallplane Cross is a symbol within the Sutton SignWriting script, which is a writing system designed to visually represent the movements, handshapes, and facial expressions of sign languages. This particular glyph belongs to the category of movement symbols and specifically denotes a contact or crossing action occurring on the wall plane, which in SignWriting terminology refers to the vertical plane perpendicular to the signer's chest. The cross shape within the symbol indicates that the hands or arms are moving linearly across this plane, typically crossing one another or interacting in a side to side motion. It is part of a comprehensive system developed by Valerie Sutton in the 1970s that allows for the precise notation of sign language articulation, enabling researchers, educators, and deaf communities to document and analyze the complex spatial grammar of signed languages in written form.
