SignWriting is a script used to represent sign languages visually on paper and digital platforms. Predominantly used for American Sign Language (ASL) and other sign languages globally, it bridges linguistic gaps for the Deaf community. Developed by Valerie Sutton in 1974, modern computers and operating systems support SignWriting through specialized software and Unicode.
