A little context
What the peace sign emoji means
✌️ (victory hand) is the two-finger peace sign: peace, “bye”, victory, “two”. It is a text-style symbol with a variation selector and five skin tones. ☮️ (peace symbol) is the circle-and-lines symbol of the peace movement. The hand gesture shown palm-inward is an insult in the UK, Australia and New Zealand; the emoji shows the palm outward, so it is safe, but the real-world caveat is worth knowing.
