Leftwards Hand Emoji
What does the Leftwards Hand emoji mean?
The counterpart to the right-pointing hand emoji: an open left hand facing left, with the thumb on top and the pinky at the bottom.
A yellow emoji showing a person’s right hand pointing to the left. From the viewer’s perspective you see the inside of the palm: the fingers are straight and held together, while the thumb is slightly raised.
As a right hand, it can suggest offering help or assistance, but it’s also commonly used simply to indicate a direction.
