It is often used in conjunction with the thumbs up emoji or the check mark to emphasize success or confirmation.
History
Adopted into the Unicode standard in 2010 as part of Emoji 1.0, this gesture has deep roots in scuba diving communication, where it is the standard signal for 'I am okay' or 'are you okay?'.
