The 🤘 hand gesture. The index and pinkie fingers are raised, while the middle and ring fingers are held down by the thumb.
Known in the West as "the sign of the horns", "the devil's horns", or "throwing the horns". Often associated with heavy metal music, which was made popular by Ronnie James Dio. Originated as an apotropaic gesture to ward off the "evil eye," a curse cast by glaring at someone with hostility.
Not to be confused with \m/ (🤟) (when the thumb is held out) or with fox shadow puppet (when the fingers are extended forward to make a fox muzzle).
