I am wondering why "thank you"

there anything vaguely contextually appropriate that visually

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.
