I think it would be Hello, Hi!
But the most recognised feature - is a smile!
No language needed for that!

OK & Coca-Cola
The biggest-selling soft drink in history, and the best-known product in the world! ‘Coca-Cola’ was created on 8th May 1886 by Dr. John S. Pemberton, and was first offered as a soda fountain beverage - produced by mixing ‘Coca-Cola’ syrup with carbonated water - at Jacob’s Pharmacy, Atlanta.
'Coca-Cola' arrived in Britain in 1900, when Charles Candler – son of the Company founder, Asa Candler – brought a jug of syrup with him on a holiday visit to England. First sold regularly through soda fountain outlets including Selfridges and the London Coliseum in the early 1920s, ‘Coca-Cola’ is now the most recognised trade mark in the world. The word 'Coca-Cola' itself is even thought to be the second most widely understood word in the world after ‘OK’!

OK! Definitely "OK". This is actually a word that came from a Native American language, later to be used as a form of Pidgin when the Native Americans and European traders communicated. From there it has traveled the world over and basically anyone on earth knows what it means. OK?

O.K.
Every person in the world knows its meaning through films, usage in adverts and general contact with everyone. It's easy to say, easy to understand, easy to make signs for and used just about everywhere locally and internationally. It never goes out of date and has been around for over 100 years now long before anyone took big interest in America.
What expression could be easier than O.K? What word is cooler than O.K? What word seems to fit positively everywhere than O.K?

somehow i think the coca cola okay thing is all a coca cola ad, and not true, even though it says it is so on wikipedia and such.
who did the research on all people all over the world to find this answer out? no one because it isn't possible to do that research so extensively, and ask everyone; or even a valid cross section of the world's population.
it's like yeah coca cola is okay! like an ad.

Wow I was going to take a wild guess and say "ok", but it looks like that's the right answer.
