U+1DAA4 "𝪤" Signwriting Rotation Modifier-5 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𝪤
U+1DAA4 "𝪤" Signwriting Rotation Modifier-5 is a combining diacritical mark used within the SignWriting script, a writing system for representing sign languages visually. This specific modifier indicates a 90 degree rotation of the base sign language symbol it attaches to, meaning that the orientation of the handshape or movement glyph is turned clockwise by that amount. As part of a systematic set of rotation modifiers, it allows writers to precisely capture the nuanced hand orientations, palm facings, and movement directions that are crucial for accurately transcribing the spatial and dynamic grammar of sign languages.
