I am wondering why "thank you" specifically... I mean, I can see reasons, but we could use a lot of stuff with equal justification. Is there anything vaguely contextually appropriate that visually resembles a "W" to some degree or another?
a W shape is only really appropriate to readers of the Latin alphabet, the rest of the world would see it as some random gesture. I would much rather see a sign glyph for "knowledge" or "freedom" or "collaboration" or (if such a glyph exists) "wiki" instead.
