The many meanings of the pinched fingers emoji
By Tom Gerken
BBC News, Washington
Is it a way to show disbelief, a way to ask others to be quiet, or a cute gesture popularised by a K-Pop star?
It’s called «pinched fingers» and depending on where you are in the world, a new emoji announced by the Unicode Consortium, which approves standard emojis worldwide, could have a completely different meaning.
Its official purpose, according to the emoji’s creators, is to represent the way an Italian might ask «what do you want?».
But that has not stopped its differing interpretations worldwide since the icon was debuted in January 2020.
«We expect this emoji to be widely used not only in Italy and other Mediterranean countries,» it says, «but also, more broadly, worldwide because of the increasing popularity of Italian culture and way of life.
«You will find people using this particular configuration of the fingers in most cultures, it is simply a universal form of signing.»
For example, according to journalist Kim Zetter, the gesture can have a myriad of meanings in Israel.
In the Arab world it could be a gesture a mother would use toward her child.
This emoji represents several things in the Arab world, including two extremes: ШґЩ€ЩЉШ© ШґЩ€ЩЉШ© (slowly, wait, calm down, patience etc) or Ш±Ш ШЄШґЩ€ЩЃ (you will see what will happen to you, as in a threat). https://t.co/n4qK6cdjqj

There are of course various comedy interpretations which have emerged, such as one person’s claim it represents eating without utensils, or another’s suggestion that with a simple flip it could mean «a pinch of salt».

There are also a legion of people who will see the emoji and instantly think of K-Pop star Yuri, who is known for making a gesture with her hand in the shape of a dumpling.
To have an emoji created, a person must make a detailed application for it to be included in Unicode, the system which makes text and emoji function on electronic devices.
This is how the same emoji can appear across different devices, regardless of whether it is an Apple or Google product.
The most recent batch of emojis to be released in 2020 also includes gender-neutral wedding symbols and the trans flag.
A pickup truck emoji approved by Unicode is thought to have been inspired by Ford, the US carmaker, which petitioned Unicode for the icon.
In total, 117 options will be added in 2020 as part of the «Emoji 13.0» update.
