leftwards pushing hand

This is an emoji of a hand pushing something to the left. You can use it to refuse a request or to ask someone to "hold on" and wait.

When used with the rightwards pushing hand (🫸), this emoji can create a cool "high five" scene. Used alone, it can give a firm sense of rejection, like "go away."

This emoji is more fun when used with other emojis rather than on its own. For example, you can use it to show yourself stopping something approaching (🚗💨) to wittily depict an urgent situation.

Sending this emoji and the 🫸 emoji together for a virtual high five has become a new form of greeting in the digital age. You can often see sports fans around the world exchanging these emojis to share their joy when their favorite team scores.
