✌️ victory hand Skin Tones — All 5 Variants
The victory hand is peace and victory in two fingers. The 1960s peace movement made the palm-out V universal, and it has stayed a photographic and chat staple ever since. The hand is the whole symbol, so all five skin-tone modifiers are available.

Usage and context
It signs off messages as “peace”, celebrates wins as “victory”, and appears in countless selfies. A modified version makes it your two fingers, common in friendly sign-offs, while the yellow default is the neutral peace sign. It also does double duty as the number two in quick lists.
Palm direction matters: in the UK, Ireland and Australia the palm-in version of the V is an insult on the level of the middle finger. The emoji itself is palm-out by default, so it stays safe — the caution is for the real-life gesture.
