What 𝤟 means
A bent finger opens at its middle joint, in sequence. In SignWriting, a visual way to write signed languages, a flick straightens a finger at the middle joint. “Sequential” means the fingers open in a particular order, not together. The nearby handshape shows which fingers the mark changes.
The movement notation began as DanceWriting in 1966, a way to record ballet movement. In 1974, researchers at the University of Copenhagen needed to record signed-language movement, and that need led to SignWriting. The wider movement-writing family later extended to mime, sports, and gesture.
How do I use Flick Sequential in SignWriting?
Place it with the handshape it modifies. SignWriting arranges a sign’s symbols in two dimensions so handshape, location, and motion can be read together. By itself, 𝤟 gives only a movement detail, not a complete written sign.

Alone, it gives a movement detail but not a complete written sign.
