rightwards thumb sign
A hand with the thumb extended and pointing to the right, with the other fingers curled into a fist
Meaning
A hand with the thumb extended and pointing to the right, with the other fingers curled into a fist. It commonly indicates direction, telling someone to look or move toward the right, or pointing out something located on that side. It can also convey approval or a thumbs-up gesture, especially in contexts where the thumb's direction is incidental. Usage varies: in some layouts the pointing meaning dominates, while in others it reads mainly as agreement or encouragement. The direction is fixed, so it may not suit situations where leftward pointing is needed.
