Crossed fingers Emoji

People

A hand showing the index and middle fingers crossed over one another. The fingers are typically depicted in a yellow skin tone, though this varies based on the user's platform settings.

Usage Context

This emoji is the go-to way to express hope for a positive outcome, wish someone good luck, or subtly indicate that you are telling a lie. It is frequently used in messages to offer encouragement before a big event, often alongside emojis like 🍀 or 🙏.

History

While the gesture has deep historical roots in Western culture as a charm against bad luck and a way to signal dishonesty, it only made its way into the digital lexicon as a standardized character when it was added to Unicode 9.0 in 2016.
