What is 🫷️ called?
🫷️ is called the Leftwards pushing hand emoji.
Commonly called the left-push hand, stop-left hand, or blocking hand. “High-five hand” describes a possible paired arrangement, not its official standalone meaning.
What does 🫷️ mean?
🫷 shows a vertical palm pushing toward the left. It can mean stop, block, refuse, hold a boundary, move something left, or apply sideways pressure.
When paired with 🫸 Rightwards pushing hand, arrangement changes the visual: the palms may form an outward barrier or face one another in a high-five-like composition. A single emoji remains simply a leftward push.
Other meanings
Push left, halt, wait, rejection, resistance, personal boundaries, blocking, a sideways shove, or one half of a two-hand composition.
Example Usage
Move the panel back toward the left 🫷
