Rightwards pushing hand: dark skin tone Emoji

People

A dark-skinned hand shown in profile, pushing firmly toward the right. The fingers are held straight and upright, mimicking the gesture of someone trying to hold back an object or signal for a halt.

Usage Context

This emoji is frequently used to convey a hard 'no,' signal a stop, or physically represent the act of pushing something away. It is often used alongside the 🛑 stop sign or the ✋ raised hand to emphasize boundaries or to request that someone wait or desist.

History

Part of the expansion of hand gestures in Emoji 15.0 in 2022, this design was added to provide more specific directional and action-oriented hand movements, moving beyond the static, palm-forward ✋ gesture that had been the standard for decades.
