The Man Raising Hand emoji (🙋♂️) depicts a man raising hand and belongs to the People & Body category of the Unicode emoji standard. It is a widely recognised symbol that works across modern devices and platforms. Its official Unicode assignment is U+1F64B U+200D U+2642 U+FE0F, introduced with Emoji 1.0 in 2015. Once your system has an updated emoji font, the character renders consistently wherever you paste it. Hand and body symbols help where words lack physical presence. They clarify intent — whether you are waving, pointing, requesting, or celebrating — and add warmth to otherwise neutral text. On Apple, Google, Samsung, Microsoft and other vendors the artwork differs slightly — colour palette, shading, and line weight change — but the core concept of man raising hand stays identical, so the emoji remains universally readable. You can copy this emoji as the character itself (🙋♂️), as an HTML entity (🙋♂️), or as a shortcode (:man-raising-hand:) for platforms like Slack, Discord, and GitHub.
This detailed meaning was written by the UseEmoji editorial team after reviewing Unicode CLDR data and real-world usage. For quick identification, think of this emoji as shorthand for man raising hand — it conveys that idea faster than words while keeping the message friendly and scannable.
