Victory hand: medium-light skin tone Emoji
People
A hand held upright with the index and middle fingers extended in a V-shape, rendered with a medium-light skin tone. It shows the palm facing outward, clearly displaying the classic two-fingered salute.
Usage Context
Universally recognized as a sign for peace, victory, or a way to say 'peace out' when leaving a conversation. It is also frequently used to signal the number two or to indicate a person is taking a break. In digital chats, it is often sent alongside the 😊 or 😎 emojis to convey a relaxed, friendly vibe.
History
The V-sign gained massive cultural momentum during World War II as a sign of defiance against oppression and was later adopted by the 1960s counterculture movement as a worldwide plea for peace. It was added to the Unicode standard in 2010, with skin tone modifiers arriving later in 2015 to allow for more inclusive digital representation.
