What is 🤚️ called?
🤚️ is called the Raised back of hand emoji.
Often called the raised backhand, back-of-hand emoji, or hand-up gesture. “Stop hand” is a possible use, though ✋ Raised hand shows that message more directly.
What does 🤚️ mean?
🤚 shows the back of an upright hand. It can mean raising a hand, volunteering, asking to speak, greeting, or signalling “wait,” while emphasising the reverse side rather than the palm.
Its intention is less fixed than the front-facing ✋ Raised hand. The gesture may be practical, playful, or simply chosen to show a different hand orientation.
Other meanings
Hand up, volunteering, requesting attention, pause, acknowledgement, showing the back of a hand, or a less conventional wave.
Example Usage
I have a question before we continue 🤚
I can volunteer for the first shift 🤚
