About this emoji
✍️ Writing Hand is an emoji in the People & Body group, hand prop subgroup, first released in Emoji 0.7 (2014). Emoji 0.7 is the label Unicode gives to characters that became emoji with Unicode 7.0 in 2014, before emoji had version numbers of their own.
CLDR, the Unicode project that supplies emoji names in many languages, gives it the English keywords hand, write and writing; that is what emoji keyboards match when you search.
It is the character ✍ (U+270D WRITING HAND) followed by the variation selector U+FE0F, which asks for the colourful emoji style. Without the selector, many systems show a plain text symbol instead.
Unicode also defines 5 skin tone versions, listed below with their own codes.
