Writing hand is a hand holding an object in the people and body group of the Unicode emoji standard. People searching for it typically type hand, write, and writing. It has no shortcode on record from CLDR, GitHub, or Slack; typing it relies on an emoji picker. Version 0.7 of the Unicode Emoji specification introduced it.

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.

Five open-licence sets, bundled with this site and served from this origin — not fetched from anyone and not the drawings on your own device. Each one is credited on Licenses, which is a condition of using them.

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 Writing 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.
