Two-finger salute

The two-finger salute is a gesture where a person raises two fingers, typically the index and middle fingers, to form a V shape. Historically, it signified victory or peace, popularized during World War II as a symbol of triumph. In some contexts, especially in Asia, it has also become a playful or friendly pose for photos. While generally light-hearted, the meaning and reception of this gesture can vary depending on cultural or social settings, so it's important to be aware of context to interpret or use it appropriately.
