A cartoon hand with index and pinky extended — the rock-and-roll horns sign. Means rock on, hardcore, metal, "this slaps". Common in concert / festival content, metal-album-review reactions, and "let's go" hype messages. Reads metalhead-coded; nobody outside rock / metal scenes uses it sincerely without irony.

A cartoon hand with thumb and pinky extended — the universal "call me" gesture (thumb to ear, pinky to mouth, mimicking a phone). Means "call me", "let's talk", "we'll figure it out later". Also used as a Hawaiian / surfer "shaka" greeting meaning "hang loose" or "all good". Both reads coexist; surrounding context decides which one applies.

A cartoon hand making the V peace sign with index and middle fingers. Means peace, "deuces", "goodbye", "I'm out". Also used in selfies (the universal 2010s tourist pose), peace-activism content, and casual sign-offs. Reads casual / friendly; the peace-activism meaning still works in protest contexts.

Two cartoon hands cupped together palm-up, as if receiving or offering something. Means prayer (in Muslim contexts especially — the "dua" gesture), receiving a gift, "please give me", or supplication. Less commonly used than 🙏 but distinct in meaning — 🤲 is specifically open-handed receiving, not pressed-together prayer. Common in Islamic content and gratitude posts.

A cartoon hand making the OK sign — thumb and index finger forming a circle, other three fingers extended. Means "okay", "got it", "perfect" or "chef's kiss" energy. In some American extremist subcultures it was briefly co-opted as a white-power symbol around 2017-2019, leading to confusion; the original "OK / good" meaning has largely been reclaimed but context still matters. Common in cooking content for "perfectly cooked".
