SSS ID Numbering
The IMWA currently has over 27,000 symbols. Each symbol in the IMWA uses a unique Identification number that contains information about the category, group, symbol, variation, fill, and rotation. Each part of the ID number uses 2 digits, except for the symbol part which uses 3. Dashes are placed between the parts to produce the SSS ID number. Ex: 01-01-001-01-01-01
There are 8 categories: hand, movement, face, head, upper body, full body, space, and punctuation.
There are 40 groups. The keyboard design and symbol palete are based on the 40 groups.
