no 6 is ✌️but with the other finger, putting up the ring finger with the other two fingers you see, there was no emoji like it that's why I used a 2 finger. and f is 👌 having your thumb and pointer finger down touching each other. was that helpful?? sorry if it wasn't.

6 is pinky and thumb touching with the other three fingers up. F is pointer finger(index finger) and thumb touching with other 3 fingers up.

Most times when you are signing the six is faced inward.

F is pointer touches thumb 6 is pinkie touches thumb W and 6, however, are the same sign, and so you would use context, mouthing, or emphasizing to differentiate.

9 and f are the same but interpretation relies on context
