<DIV>Hi Natasha and everyone -</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I think your writing is perfect...</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>You found the closest symbol in the ISWA, which is the Flat Hand with the Baby Finger extended, and added the thumb...that is the best you can do, since the exact symbol is not in the ISWA...Symbol construction is necessary sometimes...;-)</DIV>
