Rightwards hand Emoji

People

A flat hand depicted with the palm facing inward, fingers extended, and pointing toward the right. This icon represents an open palm gesture often associated with reaching for something or indicating a specific direction.

Usage Context

History

Added in 2021 as part of Unicode 14.0, this emoji was introduced to expand the range of anatomical gestures. It fills a gap in early digital messaging where hand gestures were limited to static thumbs or generic waves, allowing for more specific directional communication.
