Sorry for my ignorance but I haven’t found any reasoning for the
existence of SignWriting. In my understanding sign languages are meant
to bridge the gap in communication of individuals, at least one of
which is unable to either speak or hear the sounds of a spoken
language. At the same time I cannot see how could it be a problem to
just use the same spoken language’s written form when communication
takes place in printed media.
I know that it is not Unicode’s responsibility to justify any of the
scripts it includes, as far as there is a significant user base that
demands encoding, but I would still be curious if someone could shed
some light on this matter.
Regards,
Ádám
