<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

Leftwards Hand

<p>A&nbsp;pale skin tone modifier, which can be applied to a range of human emoji characters.</p>

<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;<em>Pale white; blond or red hair; blue eyes; freckles</em></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;<em>White; fair; blond or red hair; blue, green, or hazel eyes</em></li>
</ul>

<p>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.</p>

<p>Sample emoji designs developed by Emojipedia for illustrative purposes.</p>

<p>South Korean financial technology company Toss (토스) provides its own emoji design set within its mobile application. The design set, entitled Toss Face (토스페이스), has also been made available as a free font file for Apple devices.</p>

<p>First launched in early 2022, the Toss Face emoji set originally included a series of intentionally divergent emoji designs compared to those of other vendors.</p>

<p>The majority of these divergent designs followed two broad themes. Firstly,&nbsp;rendering culturally-specific Japanese emojis with designs representing related South Korean concepts (e.g. the <a href="/sake/">🍶 Sake</a> emoji appearing as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makgeolli">makgeolli</a>).</p>

<p>Secondly, emojis&nbsp;representing older technologies with designs representing more contemporary innovations. (e.g. <a href="/pager/">📟 Pager</a> displaying as instant messaging speech bubbles; <a href="/auto-rickshaw/">🛺 Auto Rickshaw</a> being displyed as a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unmanned_aerial_vehicle">drone</a>).</p>

<p>In March 2022 these divergent designs were updated to accurately reflect Unicode&#39;s recommendations. In April 2022 they were re-added to the Toss app using <a href="https://emojipedia.org/glossary/">Private Use Area</a> codepoints.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The latest Toss Face emoji set supports emojis up to late 2021&#39;s <a href="https://emojipedia.org/emoji-14.0/">Emoji 14.0</a>&nbsp;recommendations.</p>

<p>Released 2022-08-16, this Toss Face emoji update&nbsp;added support for <a href="https://emojipedia.org/emoji-14.0/">Emoji 14.0</a> and updated several existing emoji designs&nbsp;to better match those of other vendors.</p>

<p>The update also re-introduced a series of&nbsp;Korean-oriented and future-oriented emoji designs to the Toss Face emoji set via <a href="https://emojipedia.org/glossary/#pua">Private User Area</a> characters.</p>

<p>Released 2022-02-28, the original version of Toss&#39; Toss Face emoji set provided support for emojis up to late 2020&#39;s <a href="/emoji-13.1/">Emoji 13.1</a> recommendations.</p>

<p>A variety of emojis were given intentionally divergent designs in the emoji set&#39;s initial release.&nbsp;These divergent designs followed two major&nbsp;themes: rendering culturally-specific Japanese emojis with designs representing related South Korean concepts, and having select emojis represent contemporary technologies instead of their recommended concepts.</p>
