What does the pinkie finger mean in Chinese?

The pinkie finger doesn't have a specific meaning in Chinese like it does in some other cultures. There are some specific gestures with the pinkie finger, though:

* Little finger raised: Can be a playful gesture, like "let's make a deal."

* Little finger bent: Often used in the "peace sign" gesture, which in Chinese is usually understood as a sign of victory or good luck.

Overall, the pinkie finger itself isn't symbolic in Chinese culture, and it's more often associated with the context of the gesture it's used in.
