• Digits and the question mark are drawn on the palm or tapped on the palm using Morse code
• Another option for numerals: Use of the first ten letters A to J of the alphabet (similar to Braille numbers) with the number sign # in front ( "inverted" L)
• The end of the word is indicated by a light tap on the palm or a (short) swiping movement.
• Answer Yes - a double hit on the palm or back of the hand
• Answer No - two opposing stroking movements on the palm or back of the hand
