In some cultures, including Australia, Greece, and the Middle East, the thumbs-up gesture can be considered obscene, equivalent to 鈥淯p yours!鈥�

In many Western cultures, the thumbs-up emoji enjoys a wide range of use in text messages, social-media posts, and other forms of digital communication. On its own, a thumbs-up emoji can indicate 鈥淥K鈥� or 鈥淕ot it.鈥� For example, if one person asked to meet another at 2:30, the other person could acknowledge the appointment with a thumbs-up emoji. The thumbs-up emoji also frequently punctuates text, sometimes in strings for additional emphasis, to indicate positivity, agreement, approval, encouragement, or assurance, an equivalent to 鈥淎wesome!鈥� or Great job!鈥�. Someone might comment 鈥淭hat looks great! 馃憤鈥� to celebrate a piece of online artwork. Another person might post 鈥淧lease subscribe to my channel if you like my content! 馃憤鈥� to solicit support or to say thanks.

As with much of language, the thumbs-up emoji can also be used sarcastically: 鈥淲ay to ruin the party 馃憤.鈥� It鈥檚 also sometimes used in reference to the 鈥淭his guy鈥� meme (e.g., 鈥淲ho鈥檚 got two thumbs and a ticket to the premiere of Black Panther? This guy鈥�).
