U+1F5A1 "🖡" Sideways Black down Pointing Index Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1F5A1 "🖡" Sideways Black down Pointing Index is a typographic symbol that depicts a solid, black hand with the index finger extended and oriented horizontally, pointing directly to the right. This character belongs to the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs block and represents a specific directional indicator, often used in digital contexts for pointing or highlighting content in a horizontal layout. Unlike the more common pointing hand emojis that are oriented vertically, this sideways variant adds a unique spatial cue, useful for interface design, instructional graphics, or text annotations where a rightward gesture is needed. Its standard encoding in Unicode ensures consistent rendering across platforms, though its actual appearance may vary slightly depending on the font or system used.
