What is 🤟️ called?
🤟️ is called the Love-you gesture emoji.
Often called the ILY hand, ASL love sign, or I-love-you gesture. It is not the same as the horns sign because the thumb remains extended.
What does 🤟️ mean?
🤟 represents the “I love you” handshape from American Sign Language, combining the manual-alphabet shapes for I, L, and Y. It expresses love, affection, support, Deaf culture, or a caring greeting and farewell.
The extended thumb distinguishes it from 🤘 Sign of the horns. Treating the two as interchangeable can erase the sign-language meaning and change a loving message into a rock or horns gesture.
Other meanings
I love you, ILY, American Sign Language, family affection, encouragement, Deaf pride, warm support, or a personal sign-off.
Example Usage
Love you and proud of you 🤟
Sending support to the whole family 🤟
