Hold your left hand out and use your right index (first) finger to strike a line across your left palm. See link below for picture.

The answer above is correct, in part, but incomplete. This form of "what" refers typically to items, such as 'what is this' [WHAT-point to referent], 'what is that [WHAT-point to referent]" The "what-do" sign when accompanied by proper facial grammar means "what are you doing," or "what are you going to do (about it)" --Chado2423

The general "huh" sign may be used with one or both hands to mean "what" as in the sentence CHURCH- GO-TO YOU WHICH HUH-sign} translated into English as "What {or Which} Church do you go to?" --Chado2423
