Victory hand: medium skin tone Emoji

People

A hand showing the index and middle fingers extended upward in a V shape, displayed in a medium skin tone. The palm is facing outward, away from the person holding it up.

Usage Context

This gesture is most widely recognized as a sign of peace or a victory salute. It is frequently used to signal agreement, express 'peace out' in casual conversation, or pose for photos. It is often grouped with the ✌️ or 🤟 to convey positive vibes or lighthearted moods.

History

The V sign became a global cultural staple during World War II when Winston Churchill popularized it as a sign for 'V for Victory.' In the late 1960s, the counterculture movement reclaimed the gesture as a universal peace sign. It was added to the Unicode standard as part of the move to represent diverse human expressions.
