What ๐Ÿ‘Œ means

Thumb and index finger in a circle: "OK," "sounds good," or "excellent." ๐Ÿ‘Œ can also say something is just right, like a chef praising a dish.

A quick yes in casual chat. With ๐Ÿ˜‹ it praises food.

In parts of Europe, the Middle East and South America the gesture is rude. Extremist groups have also co-opted it, and ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘Œ is a sexual innuendo, so context matters.
