Image description
An image of the word “deaf” followed by an asterisk, both spelled out in sign language and with written lowercase letters on a white background. The hands are depicted in shades of gray, and the written letters are depicted in fuzzy, black text behind and just slightly to the right of each signing hand. The hands and the written letters are roughly the same size as one another.
