I noticed the difference between my friend and I when I replied to a friend with the number 2, while showing the back of my hand. Being British, he promptly did the same gesture back at me.

If I’m dealing with someone who I can reasonably assume is not American it’s palm toward me and thumb out (but not pointing straight up) for one, thumb and index finger for two, and so on. Many American hand gestures are offensive to other cultures and it’s not hard to learn to do it this way.
