Using Makaton symbols with other symbols

A wide variety of symbol sets are now available, which one you use should be dictated by the requirements of the user. However, we do strongly advise that you do not mix symbols from other symbol sets with Makaton symbols.

Makaton symbols have been uniquely designed to specific criteria. Therefore, mixing Makaton symbols with symbols from other symbol sets is like mixing English and French words: it might look nice but it would not make sense to the reader.
