An open right hand facing left, so as to show the palm of the hand with the thumb on the top and the pinky on the bottom.

This emoji was developed along with <a href="/rightwards-hand/">🫱 Rightwards Hand</a> to allow for the creation of <a href="/zero-width-joiner/">ZWJ Sequences</a> that depict <a href="/handshake/">🤝 Handshake</a> with two different skin tone modifiers applied, one to each hand.

Leftwards Hand

A&nbsp;pale skin tone modifier, which can be applied to a range of human emoji characters.

<ul>
	<li>Type 1 on the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitzpatrick_scale" target="_blank">Fitzpatrick Scale</a>&nbsp;of skin tones is described as:&nbsp;Pale white; blond or red hair; blue eyes; freckles</li>
	<li>Type 2 on the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitzpatrick_scale" target="_blank">Fitzpatrick Scale</a>&nbsp;of skin tones is described as:&nbsp;White; fair; blond or red hair; blue, green, or hazel eyes</li>
</ul>

This is a combination of type 1&nbsp;(pale white) and type 2 (white). Despite the descriptions, Apple&rsquo;s artwork tends to display this type-1-2 skin tone modifier with dark hair.
