Meaning
The hamsa — the open hand with an eye, added in Emoji 14.0. It is a protective symbol shared across Judaism, Islam and North African tradition, known as the Hand of Fatima or the Hand of Miriam depending on the faith. That shared history across religions that agree on very little else is precisely what makes it remarkable, and rather moving.
