The waving hand: medium-light 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, waving hand: medium-light skin tone is the 424th 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+1F44B U+1F3FC.
