✌️Victory Hand Emoji
The victory hand emoji ✌️ carries the codepoint U+270C U+FE0F and has been in the standard since Unicode 6.0 (2010). It belongs to People & Body → Hand Signs.
What ✌️ victory hand 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 hand, peace and v and files it under People & Body → Hand Signs.
Copy variants
