The "🖖🏻" emote or "Vulcan Salute: Light Skin Tone" emote is a hand gesture that resembles a raised hand with the middle and ring fingers parted while the others are held together, forming a "V" shape. It is commonly associated with the Star Trek franchise and is used as a greeting or farewell among fans. The gesture was first introduced by Leonard Nimoy's character, Mr. Spock, in the original Star Trek series.
