In ASL, the sign for "different" visually represents the concept of contrast or variation, with the repeated motion of the hands symbolizing the diverse range of characteristics, opinions, and experiences in the world.
If you sign this repeatedly, it can represent the word “diversity” or talk about several things being different, e.g. “There are many different colors of that shirt available.”
