To sign 'Kong', you will fingerspell the word. Start with the letter 'K', holding your index and middle fingers up with your thumb resting between them. Next, form an 'O' by curving all your fingers to meet your thumb. Then, make an 'N' by folding your index and middle fingers over your thumb. Finally, form a 'G' by pointing your index finger to the side with your thumb resting parallel to it.

No, 'Kong' is typically fingerspelled. Whether you are referring to the movie monster King Kong, the video game character Donkey Kong, or the dog toy brand, you will use the manual alphabet to spell K-O-N-G.
While the isolated word 'Kong' is fingerspelled, the place name 'Hong Kong' has its own unique sign. However, if you are just saying the word 'Kong' on its own, fingerspelling is the correct approach.
Practice the transition from 'O' to 'N' slowly. Since 'O' has all fingers curved and 'N' requires tucking two fingers over the thumb, focus on relaxing your hand slightly between the shapes to make the movement more fluid.
