Noticed a small issue at the "In Unicode" section at bottom of the page:
In Unicode Several Unicode characters are related to visual renderings of OK: U+1F197 🆗 SQUARED OK U+1F44C 👌 OK HAND SIGN U+1F44D 👍 THUMBS UP SIGN U+1F592 🖒 REVERSED THUMBS UP SIGN U+1F646 🙆 FACE WITH OK GESTURE
The "U+1F592 🖒 REVERSED THUMBS UP SIGN" isn't showing the corresponding emoji (on Safari 17.3.1). So I would change 🖒 to 👎 G4wkpd (talk) 18:10, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
Not done: The current character is correct, the name is just confusing. Reversed means its an outline of a thumbs up icon, the character you used is called "Thumbs Down" (there is also a "Reversed Thumbs Down", which is also an outline). Safari does not implement these characters but the article is about unicode, not Safari. Jamedeus (talk) 01:24, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
Ok edit
Origin of Ok is Greek. Ola Kala. Used on Container around the 50' in USA meaning that the Container is Ok to be shipped. 82.102.71.238 (talk) 18:17, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
Italian has OK too! edit
Italy also uses Ok in the same exact way as English, but adjective usage is rare. 37.161.198.13 (talk) 10:17, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
