U+1DA22 "𝨢" Signwriting Eyegaze-Wallplane Straight Double Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𝨢
U+1DA22 "𝨢" Signwriting Eyegaze-Wallplane Straight Double is a specific symbol within the SignWriting script, which is designed to visually represent the movements and positions used in signed languages. This particular character denotes a directional eyegaze action where both eyes are looking straight toward the wall plane, meaning the gaze is oriented directly forward, perpendicular to the viewer's chest, without any tilt or diagonal angle. The "double" in its name indicates that it applies to both eyes simultaneously, making it a precise tool for transcribing the nonmanual facial signals that are crucial to sign language grammar and meaning, particularly in indicating focus or attention in a signed conversation.
