hand symbol
Pointing finger icon
A hand symbol is a gesture made with the hand that conveys meaning—peace signs, thumbs up, middle fingers, gang signs, or religious gestures like the sign of the cross.
Hand symbols communicate across language barriers but vary by culture: a thumbs up is positive in the West but offensive in parts of the Middle East.
