I'm not sure which project you are refering too but no this is a new
personal project.<br>
I was adding the period, comma etc to my personal dictionary to do
gloss to sign in SignWriter Studio then I though I might as well add
all of them even though I usually only write commands and periods
too. Then only found four symbols and was wondering about the
question mark.<br>

Is this still for that project that I never did understand?<br>

I was wondering about question marks in

255, 255);">Any word written in SignWriting has
the face, or shoulder bar on top (if necessary)
and the handshape(s) around the face or shoulder
bar. General movements are below the handshape(s)
, but finger movements are indicated by the
fingers of the handshape(s) and head movements are
indicated by the face symbol . A sign dictionary
written in SignWriting looks up lexical items
based on the ten groups of handshapes, then on the
movements, also broken down into groups, then
facial expressions, then head and body positions
as demonstrated in Appendix G.<br>
<br>
Two questionable SignWriting practices involve
punctuation and the writing of fingerspelled
words. Punctuation in SignWriting makes use of
bars. One vertical, slightly thick bar placed
after a sign indicates a period. Two thin vertical
bars indicate a pause or comma , and two thin
vertical bars slightly further apart indicate a
longer pause or semi-colon . Two bars next to each
other, one thin and the other thick indicate a
question mark . Two thick bars indicate a colon .
Parentheses and quotes look similar to the
punctuation marks used in English. All of the
punctuation marks used in SignWriting can be the
same as those used to write English: . , ; ? : (
).</div>

There is no reason for SignWriting to adopt unique
punctuation marks for American Sign Language and
it does not take away from the writing of
SignWriting to use English punctuation marks.
Furthermore, when a signer fingerspells an English
word in ASL, SignWriting uses the appropriate
handshape symbol to write the letters in the
English word. This is also possibly a convention
that could be changed. Writing SignWriting by
hand, one would probably write the fingerspelled
word in English letters instead of writing the
handshapes for each of the letters...<font

It describes a question mark as "Two bars next to
each other, one thin and the other thick indicate a
question mark" but that description fits the
Semi-Colon. And in the example above it there seems
to the semi-colon symbol after the questions.<br>

<br>
<br>
So is the symbol for the semi-colon the same as the
question mark?<br>
