Victory hand: medium-dark skin tone Emoji

People

A raised hand with the index and middle fingers extended in a V-shape, rendered with a medium-dark skin tone. The hand is angled slightly to show the palm or back depending on the platform, signifying the classic two-fingered salute.

Usage Context

Widely used to communicate peace, friendship, or a relaxed 'goodbye.' It is also frequently utilized to signal a 'V' for victory or to indicate that someone is taking a break or hanging out. It is often paired with the 😎 or ✌️ emojis to underscore a chill or positive vibe.

History

The 'V' sign originated during World War II as a campaign for 'Victory.' It was later co-opted in the 1960s by counterculture movements as a sign of peace. The multi-skin tone variants were added to the Unicode standard in 2015 to provide more inclusive representation across global digital communications.
