Woman raising hand: medium skin tone Emoji

People

A woman with medium skin tone shown from the chest up with one arm raised high above her head. The palm is facing forward, mirroring the classic classroom posture for asking a question or volunteering.

Usage Context

Widely used in digital messaging to signify that a user wants to speak, has an answer, or is simply agreeing with a statement. It is a direct digital equivalent to the hand-raising gestures used in physical meetings and school settings, often paired with 🙋 or 🙋‍♂️ to denote a group consensus.

History

The base character originated as part of the early sets designed to translate non-verbal human communication into text-based platforms. The specific gendered and skin-toned variations were introduced in Unicode 8.0 in 2015 to support a more diverse range of human representation in global messaging apps.
