U+1DA6E "𝩮" Signwriting Shoulder Hip Positions Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𝩮

U+1DA6E "𝩮" Signwriting Shoulder Hip Positions is a symbol from the SignWriting script, a writing system designed to visually represent sign languages by depicting body movements and handshapes on a two dimensional page. This specific character encodes a combination of shoulder and hip positions, typically shown as two connected circles or arcs that indicate the orientation or alignment of the upper body and pelvis in space. It is used by SignWriting authors to transcribe the precise posture of a signer, helping to clarify whether the shoulders and hips are level, tilted, or rotated relative to each other. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard allows it to be reliably stored, displayed, and exchanged in digital text, supporting the broader goal of preserving and documenting sign languages in written form.
