leftwards hand
leftwards hand meaning
A hand extended to the left, added in Emoji 14. 0 as the mirror of its rightward twin. Together the pair solved a real problem: a single handshake emoji could only ever have one skin tone, which made it useless for representing a handshake between two different people. Splitting it in two fixed that entirely.
