Curious, curious.

I took ASL too, and I was also curious of how Sign Language worked in other languages. I know there are literal "signs" for objects, verbs, adjectives, but how do you finger spell in like say, Chinese or Japanese or any other language that uses characters in written languages. If you manage to find this out, please share. I've been wondering about this for many years.
