Person raising hand: light skin tone Emoji

People

A person with a light skin tone raising one arm straight up with an open palm. The figure is depicted from the waist up, showing an eager or alert posture.

Usage Context

Used to signal that someone has an answer, needs attention, or is volunteering for a task. It mimics the classic schoolroom dynamic of students signaling a teacher. It is frequently used in chat groups to say 'I'm here' or to show agreement, often paired with 🙋 or the raised hand emoji ✋.

History

The base gesture was part of the original Unicode emoji set released in 2010. The light skin tone variant was introduced in 2015 as part of the Unicode 8.0 update, which implemented the Fitzpatrick scale to provide more diverse representations of human characters across digital platforms.
