How do you spell courage in Sign Language symbols?

You can't spell "courage" in American Sign Language (ASL) the way you spell it in English. ASL is a visual language, not a written one, and uses signs to represent concepts, not individual letters.

To sign "courage," you would use a single sign. The sign for "courage" is made by:

1. Starting with your dominant hand in a "C" handshape (thumb and pinky extended, other fingers closed)

2. Bringing the hand up to your chest, palm facing inwards

3. Moving the hand out and forward in a diagonal motion, with the palm turning outward

The exact movement and handshape may vary depending on the signer, but this is the general form of the sign.

It's important to remember that ASL is a complex language with its own unique grammar and rules. You can't simply translate English words into ASL letter by letter. If you're interested in learning ASL, there are many resources available online and in your local community.
