Since the introduction of emojis, Internet users have often used them to show how they feel or to say something. However, for some time now, knowing the meaning of emojis has become a "must" for most social networking fans.
Indeed, these emojis can say a lot about what we feel, and especially about what we can't express. For this very reason, we're going to help you in this article to understand the meaning of the right-pointing emoji, the left-pointing emoji and the combination of the two.
The meaning of the right-pointing emoji
En principe, cet émoji est défini par le poing d’une main droite avec l’index tendu vers l’est ou encore vers la droite. D’après les experts, cet émoji est le plus souvent utilisé lorsqu’une personne souhaite mettre en valeur quelque chose en particulier. En effet, dans une publication sur les réseaux sociaux, si un internaute utilise cet émoji, c’est pour mettre en relief le mot ou la phrase la plus importante dans sa publication.
Apart from that, this emoji is generally found on Facebook when a person wants to list several things at once. In this case, the index emoji to the right or the index emoji pointing east will play the role of a bulleted list. Publications with these emoji are often created to summarize a situation or highlight facts.
Left-pointing emoji meaning
The opposite of the right-pointing emoji is the left-pointing emoji. Like the first, it looks like a closed hand pointing in a specific direction. But in this case, it's a left hand pointing west or left. And the same applies to the meaning, which defines something else.
In fact, the index emoji to the left will only be used for marking or designating purposes. However, it can be used with its opposite emoji to highlight important information. In this case, the information should be placed between the 2 emojis. As Internet users also know, this emoji is also called "exit". This is because it's used in jokes to symbolize "exit".
The meaning of the whole emoji
On définit souvent l’ensemble de l’émoji « exit » avec l’émoji index vers la droite, « pointer du doigt ». Même dans la vraie vie, si une personne fait ce signe, c’est surtout pour montrer sa timidité. Ainsi, si une personne use de cet émoji, c’est surtout parce qu’il est en train de dire quelque chose d’inhabituel qui peut le rendre nerveux.
For example, flirts use the finger-pointing emoji to declare their love. Apart from that, it can also be used to say "please" when requesting services.
