👌 OK hand Skin Tones — All 5 Variants
The OK hand is approval in a ring: okay, perfect, sounds good. It is one of the oldest and most copied emoji, and the ring shape leaves the back of the hand fully visible, so the five skin-tone modifiers are supported and frequently used when the sender is confirming something personally.

Every variant copies exactly like the base character: tap a card and the sequence is on your clipboard, ready to paste anywhere. Skin-tone modifiers (U+1F3FB–U+1F3FF) were added to the standard in Unicode 8.0 (2015). OK hand itself was added in Emoji E0.6 (2010).
Usage and context
It confirms plans, rates food and answers requests: “👌 sounds good”, “dinner was 👌”. A modified version reads as your personal seal of approval, while the yellow default is a neutral okay. It also appears as the fine-tuning pinch when someone is describing precision, and it stacks with thumbs-up for emphatic agreement.
Two documented caveats. In Brazil and parts of southern Europe the same ring gesture is an insult, and in some online contexts it was co-opted as a provocation sign in 2017–2019. Most senders simply mean okay — but the reader's region changes the reading.
