✊️Raised Fist Emoji

What ✊️ raised fist means

Approval, refusal, and force. 👍 is the flashpoint: fine as confirmation in most workplaces, but read by a lot of younger users as curt or sarcastic, closer to ending a conversation than agreeing with it. ✊ carries protest and solidarity depending on context, while 🤛 and 🤜 are usually just a fist bump between friends.

Unicode tags this one clenched, fist and hand and files it under People & Body → Fingers Closed.
