okay sign
All good signal
The okay sign is a hand gesture made by forming a circle with the thumb and index finger while extending the other fingers.
It typically signals approval, agreement, or that everything is fine: She gave the okay sign from across the room.
In scuba diving, it specifically asks or confirms "Are you okay?" because a thumbs-up means ascend.
The gesture has different meanings in other cultures—offensive in some countries, signifying money in others.
In the late 2010s, the sign became associated with white supremacist trolling, though context usually distinguishes innocent from malicious use.
