Emblems are body movements that carry specific meanings in a given culture. Examples include the "thumbs-up" motion, the "OK" sign (forming a circle with the thumb and index finger), and the "peace" sign (forming a V-shape with the index and middle fingers). Emblems can be used as a standalone gesture to convey a message or can be used in combination with other gestures and verbal communication.
