Last week we had “unicycle” in braille.
But this time in hands:
i dont get it. Is that how you spell unicycle to a deaf person?
correct
Maybe in some countries, but not in the UK. UK finger spelling uses two hands to form the letter, there IS a sign in BSL for unicycle*, but its not very well known so you may have to spell the word out the first time you use it with someone new.
- R hand, point 1st finger only upwards ( fist towards you), turn hand so 1st finger points accross your body ( to the left), use 1st finger to describe a single circle in the air (like a wheel).
- #2 - when I say a sign in BSL, I don;t think you would find it in a BSL dictonary, but its been used by deaf and hearing unicyclists talking to each other and to deaf non riders. I used it in Yorkshire between 1995 - 98.

Leo’s version was ASL. American Sign Language. Check out the whole alphabet here, a little app I put together a few years ago. This is my wife’s company, and her web site will be updated (by me) before mine is… 
Sign language varies from country to country, as it is usually based off the local language there. For example, when we went to China for Unicon in 2000, there was a group of riders from a deaf school (in China). Jacquie was unable to communicate with them, as their signs were completely foreign to her.
American Sign Language is derived from French Sign Language. There’s a whole story there, which I won’t get into…
