SignWriting in Mobile phones with questions and user manual

[Nana Dumitra]

Dear Aisha, 
Sorry it took me so long to respond. I hope you can still use it. I love
the idea and I would love to already be able to use SignWriting on a
mobile phone. The deaf here are sending SMS messages all the time and I
am sure they would love it.
Greetings from the Philippines,
Nana
