Hand Signals

Good Day!
Recently, while hauling my fifth wheel, I pulled -over to let a trucker pass. As he did, he waved and then held out three fingers in the same shape as a double-u. What does this code mean, if anything?

So let see if I understand this, '3's to ya' is a good thing, and '1's to ya' is a bad thing. Am I correct?

On the cb we use to say 3's & 8's to you & all the good numbers. It was wishing you well, have a good trip, thanks & catch you on the turn around.

some of the chinese customers we have are big into numbers. the more "8's" you can get into a phone number the better. I think it has something to do with good luck and being prosperous. "4's" have something to do with death. and I'm not sure what the rest of them are....
