What is 🤘️ called?
🤘️ is called the Sign of the horns emoji.
Commonly called the rock-on hand, devil horns, or metal horns. “Horned hand” is another literal description, but regional meanings can differ from the concert use.
What does 🤘️ mean?
🤘 raises the index and little fingers to form the sign of the horns. It is strongly associated with rock and heavy-metal music, concerts, rebellious energy, and the cheer “rock on.”
Horns gestures also have older cultural meanings, including protection from bad luck and insulting references in some regions. The thumb position distinguishes it from the ASL-based 🤟 Love you gesture.
Other meanings
Rock on, heavy metal, concert excitement, devil horns, rebellion, high energy, warding off bad luck, or a context-dependent insult.
Example Usage
That guitar solo was incredible 🤘
See everyone at the concert tonight 🤘
More details
Officially named sign of the horns. Its code point is U+1F918, introduced in Emoji 1.0. It is culturally variable and should not be assumed to mean love-you merely because the silhouettes are similar.
