<DIV>So, as I suspected 01-05-018 is the correct shape, but the thumb is missing. This symbol is so ubiquitous in the SF world that we need this shape with the thumb included in the IMWA. There are a lot of "weird" handshapes, but this particular one is now universal for "live long and prosper".</DIV>
