Person Tipping Hand Emoji 💁

One hand raised palm-up, hip cocked — the pose reads as sassy customer-service energy. It's used for 'here's the tea,' pointing something out with a little flourish, or a confident 'obviously' delivered with hair-flip attitude. Equal parts helpful and smug, depending on the tone of the message it's closing out.

What 💁 means

Short, side-parted hair frames this gender-neutral character, cropped at the bust, whose left hand rests near the shoulder with the palm tipped, as if balancing an invisible tray.

The 💁 Person Tipping Hand emoji generally gives off a "Whatever" vibe; unbothered and careless. Although it might seem like a rude gesture, it can have it's positive and even cute connotations depending on the circumstance and/or the person you're using it with.

How and when to use it

If your best friend's nagging about the same thing over and over again, use 💁 (it might piss him/her off even more, but, why not, right?).
You can use 💁 while showing that you couldn't care any less about a certain situation or person.
The 💁 emoji is also the 'hair-flip' emoji. So use it during those hair flip moments, like when you're feeling particularly sassy and upbeat.
Use 💁 while being sarcastic or pointing out at someone's sarcasm with a counter sarcastic comeback (sometimes, you can't just give it up like that).
If you have no idea or ran out of ideas to pose for a picture, use 💁. It works best.

💁 in real conversations

What does 💁 mean from a girl?

Sassy confidence — hand on hip, a hair-flip rendered in emoji form. It backs up an obvious statement ('that's just facts 💁') or announces someone's about to spill something juicy, tea included.

What does 💁 mean from a guy?

Less common from guys, and when it shows up it's usually a bit — playing up diva energy for a joke rather than sincere sass. It reads as a callback to a meme more than genuine attitude.

What does 💁 mean in texting?

'Obviously,' delivered with attitude. Its official Unicode name is still 'person tipping hand,' a holdover from an earlier 'information desk person' design, but everyone reads the pose as pure sass, not customer service.
