How to sign U in ASL

Letter U21 of 26Held still

Hold your index and middle fingers straight up and together.

Hold U steady for a moment, with your palm facing the person you're signing to.

Left-handed? Sign with your dominant hand; the shapes are the same, mirrored.

Don't mix it up

V: V spreads the two fingers apart; U keeps them together.
R: R crosses the middle finger over the index finger; U keeps them side by side.
H: H and U use the same two fingers; H points sideways and U points up.

Make the handshape and hold it. Turn on your camera and it checks your handshape as you go. The video stays on your device.

U is in Letters S–Z. ASL a Day brings it back tomorrow to sign from memory, then again just before you'd forget. Five minutes a day.
