📍 Comment on l'utilise chez vous

France

Known as a gesture meaning 'zero' or 'worthless' — the opposite of its usual positive connotation.

💡 Le saviez-vous ?

In 2017, a 4chan campaign called 'Operation O-KKK' falsely spread the claim that 👌 was a white power symbol. Though started as a hoax, some white supremacists actually adopted it, leading the ADL to add the gesture to its hate symbol list in 2019 — while also noting that the vast majority of uses remain innocent.
