0 and 7 are wrong.

@realcuteguyyayiyayi I can see why you'd say that - as there are many variations from place to place within China. I chose the symbols I did because they are the most universal, easy to make, easy to remember and most people will get the meaning. I know the different gesture you mean for 7, but in some places in China that same gesture means 5. I'd hate for you to order a combo # 7 using your fingers and end up with a plate of full of chicken feet instead. :)

@MyNewChineseLove unfortunately that's not the fact, exactly the opposite, the ones you featured in the video are rarely used and very limited, the "correct" way, the one I was referring to are universal in China and Japan, those were the ones that are MOSTLY used

Wow, that was pretty cool. I know some Asl (American sign language) and the #9 is the same as the letter X. I thought that was pretty cool!
