Sign Writing

SignWriting is a visual system for recording and sharing sign languages through written symbols that depict hand shapes, movements, facial expressions, and body posture. It enables signs to be documented and communicated visually, similar to how written words represent spoken language. SignWriting allows sign language users, interpreters, and researchers to record, teach, and study signs accurately across different regions and contexts, helping preserve and promote sign languages worldwide. It is globally adaptable, visually intuitive, and supports the linguistic complexity of signed communication.
