What is ☝️ called?
☝️ is called the Index pointing up emoji.
Often called the up-pointing index, number-one finger, or attention finger. “Pointing up” is accurate, but it is visually distinct from the backhand-up emoji.
What does ☝️ mean?
☝️ raises one index finger and can mean number one, an important point, “one moment,” attention, a correction, or an idea somebody wants to add.
Because the palm side faces forward, it reads more like making a point than directing somebody to content above. 👆 Backhand index pointing up is the clearer layout pointer.
Other meanings
Number one, wait a second, important reminder, one question, a teaching point, attention, an idea, or emphasis on a single item.
Example Usage
One quick reminder before we begin ☝️
I have a question to add ☝️
