Maybe you have solved this problem already, but here's an idea that popped
into my head right away that might work, two dots instead of the usual one
dot. These will never be confused with fingers, because no finger symbol
ever goes straight out opposite any other finger symbol. Granted, one dot
would be more consistent, but where to put it so it doesn't look like a
finger??
