love-you gesture 🤟 - OzVoca Emoji Details
love-you gesture
This is a hand gesture from American Sign Language that means 'I Love You.' You can use it to express affection to friends or family.
It's not always used to mean 'I love you'; it's also frequently used as a positive gesture of support, like 'You're the best!' or 'Awesome!' You can also see it at concerts when fans cheer for the artist.
This emoji is different from the 'rock on' gesture (🤘) used by rock music fans because the thumb is extended. It combines the shapes of the letters 'I', 'L', and 'Y'.
This gesture was popularized in the United States in the 1970s and became a positive symbol used not only by the deaf community but by everyone. It has become a very familiar emoji to fans worldwide, especially as K-pop idols frequently use it to convey love and thanks to their fans.
