I think my advice having done a character like this in a MUD (where there are NO visual cues) is to use your full arsenal of body language. Even "yes" or "no" questions don't warrant a nod or shake of the head. A particularly vehement "no," for example, might include turning your back on the person asking the question. A subtle glance at something might serve as a confirmation to another question and so on and so forth.
One thing I would recommend if you're serious about playing a silent character is to avoid using writing signs or notes of any kind. It's frankly a bit of a cop-out and you end up just having your character effectively speak using /emote instead of /say as your chat channel. Make it an exercise in crafting truly expressive emotes. You won't be sorry!
