Meaning
The backhand index pointing left 👈 shows a hand with the index finger pointing to the left, used to direct attention 'that way' or back to something. People use it to point at a previous message, a link, or someone they're referring to, and — paired with the right-pointing version — for the shy '👉👈' gesture of bashfully asking or hinting. Available in six skin tones, 👈 is the go-to for pointing back and steering attention to the left.
How to use it
- This person right here 👈
- As I said above 👈
- Um, can we hang out 👉👈
