Call me hand: medium-dark skin tone Emoji

People

A hand gesture with the thumb and pinky finger extended while the middle, ring, and index fingers remain curled against the palm. This version displays a medium-dark skin tone.

Usage Context

This hand sign is used to suggest a phone call or to signal the 'hang loose' attitude popularized by surf culture. It frequently replaces text when asking someone to 'call me' or as a sign of laid-back friendliness alongside emojis like 🤙 or 📞.

History

Based on the Hawaiian shaka sign, this gesture became a global shorthand for communication in the 1980s and 90s, often associated with beach culture and early mobile phone usage. The skin tone variations were added in Unicode 8.0 in 2015 to allow for more diverse representation across digital platforms.
