Topic: deaf people's hand finger alphabets: there are an awful lot of them

Even if we limit ourselves to the original France LSF and the English speaking world, there's American ASL, British BSL (sometimes called BANZSL because Australia and New Zealand use it), and Irish ISL too. That's like, four already. Anyway, most of the alphabets are one-handed, except the British which uses two hands, with the letter C being exceptional in that a single hand is sufficient.

Remember that time that two sign language signers got shot because a dude thought they were doing gang signs and they were ignoring him when he was throwing them back?
