How do I copy a hand emoji?

Click any emoji card in the grid. The character is copied to your clipboard immediately and a confirmation briefly appears on the card.

What does the codepoint under each emoji mean?

It is the Unicode codepoint (or codepoint sequence) that makes up the emoji, shown in U+XXXX format. Emoji with a variation selector, like the Vulcan salute, show every codepoint in the sequence.

Does this list include skin tone variants?

No. Each emoji is shown in its default yellow form. Most hand emojis support skin tone modifiers separately; apply those from your device keyboard or emoji picker after copying the base character.

What is the difference between the Fist and Palms categories?

Fist groups closed-hand gestures like a raised fist or fist bump. Palms groups open-hand gestures such as clapping, raised hands, and a handshake.

Will these emoji look the same on every device?

The character and codepoint are standard, but the artwork differs by platform. A hand shown here in one style may render with Apple, Google, or Microsoft styling depending on the device.
