I should probably read up more about SignWriting before trying to

there might be ways to shoehorn things into Unicode's style anyway.
One answer might be what was done for Western musical notation.
Another is the Plane 1 math alphabets, which can be used in ordinary
writing, but which are more common in formulas with a precise
2-dimensional layout: again, a higher-level protocol (in this case,
MathML or TeX) is needed for full use. (One might even imagine a SignML.)
