The 🖖🏽 emote, also known as the "Vulcan salute," is a hand gesture made by raising the hand and separating the middle and ring fingers while keeping the others together. The addition of the Fitzpatrick Type-4 modifier changes the skin tone of the hand to a medium-dark complexion. The gesture was popularized by the character Mr. Spock on the television show Star Trek and has since become a symbol of greeting and goodwill among fans of the franchise.
