👌OK Hand Emoji
Tagged awesome, bet and dope, 👌 OK hand sits in Unicode's Hand Signs group inside People & Body. It was introduced in Unicode 6.0 (2010) at U+1F44C.
What 👌 OK hand means
Gestures that carry a lot of regional baggage. ✌️ and 🤞 are broadly understood; 🤌, added in 2020, is read almost everywhere as the Italian bunched-fingers gesture; 🫰, added in 2021, is the Korean finger heart popularized by K-pop. 👌 stays useful in most contexts but has been co-opted as a troll symbol, so it can land badly.
Unicode tags this one awesome, bet and dope and files it under People & Body → Hand Signs.
