What fingers open emojis are used for
Greetings, stopping someone, and offering something. 👋 opens and closes conversations; ✋ can mean stop, high five, or raising a hand to speak. 🖖 is the Vulcan salute from Star Trek, which Unicode formally names 'raised hand with part between middle and ring fingers'. The directional 🫱 and 🫲 arrived in 2021 so handshakes could mix two skin tones.
