What is 🫱️ called?
🫱️ is called the Rightwards hand emoji.
Often called the right-facing hand, hand reaching right, or handshake half. “Right hand” can be ambiguous because it describes direction, not necessarily the person’s anatomical right hand.
What does 🫱️ mean?
🫱 shows a hand extended toward the right. It can indicate direction, reaching, offering a handshake, passing something, holding an invisible object, or forming one half of a combined hand gesture.
It is a whole sideways hand, not a pointing finger. Together with 🫲 Leftwards hand, supported sequences can form a handshake with independently selected skin tones.
Other meanings
Reach right, offer a hand, pass an item, handshake component, directional layout cue, hold something from one side, or meet in the middle.
Example Usage
Pass the folder this way 🫱
We can meet halfway and agree 🫱
