Mixed skin tone support for this emoji was approved in&nbsp;<a data-sk="tooltip_parent" delay="150" href="/emoji-14.0/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">September 2021</a>&nbsp;and debuted on&nbsp;most platforms in late 2021 and throughout 2022.

new-mixed-skin-tone-support-2022

Two hands performing a handshake gesture, indicating a&nbsp;cordial greeting between friends or associates.

As of late 2021&#39;s <a href="/emoji-14.0/">Emoji 14.0</a> recommendations, this emoji design has multiple <a href="/emoji-modifier-sequence/">skin tone modifier</a> options. Certain platforms did, however, support a small number of single skin tone options for the handshake emoji prior to 2021 (e.g. both <a href="/google/android-7.1/new/">Google</a>&nbsp;and <a href="/samsung/touchwiz-7.1/new/">Samsung</a> in 2017).&nbsp;<a href="/handshakes/">View all handshake emojis</a>.

Rightwards Hand

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.

The reverse of this symbol is considered an offence gesture in <a href="/flag-united-kingdom/" title="🇬🇧 Flag For United Kingdom">British</a> culture, similar to giving the <a href="/middle-finger/" title="🖕 Reversed Hand With Middle Finger Extended">middle finger</a>.

Victory Hand

Two hands placed firmly together, meaning please&nbsp;or&nbsp;thank you&nbsp;in Japanese culture.&nbsp;A common alternative use&nbsp;for this emoji is for prayer, using the same gesture as&nbsp;praying hands.
