What 𝪋 means
It brackets an aside within a SignWriting sentence. The opening mark starts the aside; its rotated form closes it.
SignWriting grew from DanceWriting, a way of writing down dance, in 1974; it was developed to record sign languages.
The writing layout changes the punctuation's orientation: it runs horizontally with columns and vertically with rows. Its parenthetical reading stays the same.
