'F' and 'J on the computer keyboard helps to indicate the last fingers of the home keys "(a s d f" "J k L wink". while '5' being dotted is to help identify the centre unmber of the figures needed on ur phone.

It's your home key as 'F' and 'J' are the home keys on your computer keyboard. They help you in locating other keys without having to look down at the keys. It's helpful too for the blind. From that key or those keys, the position of all other keys is relative.
