Raising hands: medium-dark skin tone Emoji

People

Two hands held high above the head, palms facing outward, rendered in a medium-dark skin tone. This gesture mimics the act of reaching toward the sky in a burst of excitement or triumph.

Usage Context

Widely used to express cheer, success, or religious praise. People often use it to celebrate good news, show support for a friend, or signal 'amen' in digital conversations. It is frequently paired with the 🎉 or 🎊 emojis to heighten the feeling of a festive event.

History

Based on the original 'person raising both hands in celebration' icon, this variation was added as part of the expansion of skin tone modifiers in Unicode 8.0 in 2015. This update allowed users to better represent diverse human physical traits in digital communication, moving away from the default yellow base.
