yah thumbs up is a good default low resolution acknowledgement rather than having to type. I say low resolution because some platforms have limited emoji availability to chose from, eg if no :ok: emoji exists to express with. I prefer giving emoji responses like this when I don't want to clutter up my text history that I often later go back and search for to hunt down past conversations. Reducing unnecessary text helps in those efforts, less to have to filter through.
