Original Note:
The two fingers that the actor Tom Hanks uses in Forrest Gump is commonly referred to as a "Peace Sign". It originally was considered an offensive British gesture depending on how the hand was turned. It became a symbol of Peace in 1960s hippy culture. https://www.euronews.com/culture/2023/07/19/culture-re-view-how-winston-churchill-invented-the-v-sign https://www.oxfordreference.com/display/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803120300620 https://www.mylittlehomestead.com/thepeacesign.html
