This is the mirror image of the backhand index pointing left — a dark-skinned hand with the thumb raised and the index finger extended to the right. Use it to point the way, draw attention, or emphasize an important point.
The darkest skin tone of the right-pointing finger emoji looks and works the same as the yellow hand pointing to the right.
