What the ✌🏻 emoji means
Two raised fingers. Peace or victory in most of the world; in Japan and Korea it is simply what you do in front of a camera.
With the back of the hand turned outward it is an insult in Britain, Ireland and Australia — the emoji shows the palm, so the risk is small but not zero.

Where the ✌🏻 emoji is used
The ✌🏻 smiley copies in one tap and pastes into a chat as text, not as a picture: it is a Unicode symbol, so it works the same in WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and in a post caption. Every platform draws emoji its own way — below you can see how victory hand: light skin tone is drawn in the open Noto, OpenMoji and Twemoji sets.
