raised hand: medium skin tone Emoji

The raised hand: medium skin tone emoji represents a person, body part, gesture, or human activity — this category is deliberately broad and detailed so that messaging can represent people, professions, and gestures with more accuracy and inclusivity than earlier, more limited emoji sets allowed.

Category context: The People & Body category is Unicode's largest emoji group, covering body parts, hand gestures, family compositions, professions, and activities — many of which support optional skin-tone modifiers to represent human diversity.

Cataloged under Hand Fingers Open within the People & Body category, raised hand: medium skin tone is the 485th of 2418 emoji How To Type Any Symbol lists in this category, and was introduced in Emoji version 1 of the Unicode Emoji Standard. Technically, this specific version includes a skin-tone modifier, meaning it is built by combining a base emoji with one of the five Fitzpatrick-scale skin-tone components introduced in Unicode 8.0. Its Unicode code point sequence is U+270B U+1F3FD.

💡 Good to know: Profession and role emoji in this set are gender-neutral or offered in multiple gender presentations as of more recent Unicode versions — check for alternate versions if representation matters for your content.
