What is 🖕️ called?
🖕️ is called the Middle finger emoji.
Often called the middle-finger salute, flipping-off gesture, or rude finger. More vulgar spoken names exist, but the official Unicode name is simply middle finger.
What does 🖕️ mean?
🖕 depicts the raised middle finger, a deliberately obscene insult in many cultures. It communicates anger, contempt, defiance, rejection, or “go away” much more aggressively than 👎 Thumbs down.
Even joking use can cause offence, and meanings vary internationally. The base emoji supports five skin-tone modifiers, including the dark-skin-tone sequence 🖕🏿; tone does not change the gesture’s core meaning.
Other meanings
Flipping somebody off, a rude refusal, hostility, strong frustration, rebellion, contempt, or an offensive response used jokingly or seriously.
Example Usage
The fictional villain gave a deliberately rude gesture 🖕
That scam receives the strongest possible rejection 🖕
