U+1F596 "🖖" Raised Hand with Part Between Middle and Ring Fingers is a digital representation of the Vulcan salute from the Star Trek franchise, where the hand is raised with the palm facing forward and the fingers separated into a V shape between the middle and ring fingers. This gesture was popularized by actor Leonard Nimoy, who based it on a Jewish priestly blessing hand sign, and it is commonly used in online communication to convey greetings, peace, or a reference to the sci-fi series. The character was added to the Unicode Standard in 2010 under the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs block and is often associated with the phrase "Live long and prosper."
