Do you see I Love U?

I LOVE YOU (SIGN LANGUAGE) - The ILY is a sign from American Sign Language which, as a gesture, has moved into the mainstream. Seen primarily in the United States and other Americanized countries, the sign originated among deaf school children using American Sign Language to create a sign from a combination of the signs for the letters I, L and Y (I Love You). The sign is an informal expression of any of several positive feelings, ranging from general esteem to love, for the recipient of the sign.
