☝️Index Pointing Up Emoji

What ☝️ index pointing up means

Pointing at something - a link above, a reply below, the person who said the stupid thing. 👉👈 used together became the shy, nervous gesture in text posts, and 🫵, added in 2021, points straight out of the screen at you. 🖕 reached Unicode in 2014, in the batch imported from the Wingdings and Webdings fonts.

Unicode tags this one finger, hand and index and files it under People & Body → Finger Pointing.
