Waving hand represents an open-hand gesture and falls under the people and body group. It carries a broad set of 16 CLDR keywords, among them bye, cya, g2g, and greetings, reflecting how often and how variously it gets used. CLDR's shortcode for it is :waving_hand:; GitHub and Slack settled on :wave: instead. Version 0.6 entered the Unicode Emoji standard.
Skin tones
This character takes the five skin-tone modifiers — set one in the menu and every copy picks it up. Each form is its own sequence with its own codepoints and its own page.

Rendered by your fonts
The pictures above are this site's own bundled artwork; these are your device's. Each cell below asks your browser for one emoji font by name, so you will see a real difference only for the fonts installed on this device — for the rest your browser falls back to the drawing it already uses. This is what Waving hand will look like wherever you paste it. If a cell shows an empty box, this device's emoji font has no glyph for it yet; that is the font, not the character.
