ok sign

Thumb-forefinger loop

The ok sign is a hand gesture forming a circle with thumb and index finger while extending the other fingers.

It traditionally signals approval, agreement, or that everything is fine.

In some contexts it means "zero" or "worthless." The gesture has acquired additional meanings: in parts of Europe and South America it's obscene, and online trolls co-opted it as a white supremacist symbol, though most users intend no such meaning.
