Victory hand Emoji

People

A yellow hand gesture showing the index and middle fingers extended upward in a V shape, while the thumb and remaining fingers are curled into the palm.

Usage Context

Widely used to represent peace, a victory sign, or simply the number two. It is often sent to signal a friendly farewell or a 'vibe check' in text conversations. It is frequently grouped with the ✌️ gesture itself or used alongside the 🤘 or 🤟 to discuss music and hand signs.

History
