What 🤌 pinched fingers means
Gestures that carry a lot of regional baggage. ✌️ and 🤞 are broadly understood; 🤌, added in 2020, is read almost everywhere as the Italian bunched-fingers gesture; 🫰, added in 2021, is the Korean finger heart popularized by K-pop. 👌 stays useful in most contexts but has been co-opted as a troll symbol, so it can land badly.
Unicode tags this one fingers, gesture and hand and files it under People & Body → Hand Signs.
