What ๐ค means
All fingertips pressed together and pointing up. In Italian body language ๐ค means "what do you want?" or "what are you saying?" It also shows emphasis, frustration or exaggerated Italian flair.
People use it to stress a point, to mock an absurd idea, or as a chef's kiss for great food. It suits jokes about Italian culture and pasta.
In parts of the Middle East the same gesture means "wait a moment." Do not confuse it with ๐ค.
