So it can be fun if the mute character's player embraces it.

One of the NPCs aboard the ship in my current campaign is an alien cephalopod with Cannot Speak (and a low IQ compared to humanoids, and Hard of Hearing to the point of not treating human speech as a communication mode). Almost the whole last session has been spent on trying to communicate with it using ad hoc signs and symbol-drawings. If they keep this up, I think it's absolutely reasonable for them to buy a sign language of their own joint invention.
