Hello Amit, AnnaGrace, Craxton, Stefan -<br>
<br>
There are so many ways to find the symbols that are used to write Mundbildschrift in SignPuddle 2. Here is how I will do this, so you can see the symbols that are used from the current International SignWriting Alphabet 2010. First I went to SignPuddle 2 and chose the German flag to take me to the German Sign Language Dictionary area. Then, in the German Sign Language Dictionary, I searched for the source “SW” which stands for Stefan Woehrmann. So I found a listing of all of the signs that Stefan had written using the symbols from ISWA 2010.<br>
<br>
So all of the signs he wrote appear in a long list. I chose this one:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/canvas.php?ui=8&sgn=53&sid=3714" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/canvas.php?ui=8&sgn=53&sid=3714</a><br>
<br>
It is PuddlePage 3714. It is the number “1000”, tausend, written by Stefan on September 14, 2007. SignPuddle 2 will give you the FSW and the SWU for that writing, which gives you the symbols he used from the ISWA 2010 at that time. This is one of several ways to find the symbols he used that are already in FSW and SWU. I will show you other methods of searching next.<br>
<br>
Here is a screen capture of that page:<br>
