The "🤟🏿" emote, also known as the "Love-You Gesture: Dark Skin Tone" emote, is a hand gesture that shows the thumb, index finger, and pinky finger extended while the middle and ring fingers are folded down. It is commonly used to express love, appreciation, or gratitude. The dark skin tone variant of this emote was introduced in 2016 as part of the Unicode 9.0 update.
