= scissors in Rock, Paper, Scissors game ⁓ 270C FE0E text style ⁓ 270C FE0F emoji style
Information
It’s also the “scissors” in rock–paper–scissors—cleanly slicing through paper and getting absolutely flattened by rock.
In chats, it’s a breezy sign‑off after a spicy take, a low‑key nod to good news, or a playful shorthand for “two” (two tickets, two coffees, two minutes late—oops).
From Tokyo to TikTok, it moonlights in selfies: kawaii poses, K‑pop fan snaps, and VSCO‑era mirror pics all lean on it.
Rooted in Churchill’s WWII “V for Victory” and remixed by the ’60s peace movement, the victory hand today is the internet’s friendly exit sign: two fingers raised in a crisp V that says peace, victory, deuces, and “I’m out” all at once.
Definition
Paper in Rock, Paper, Scissors game. Commonly used as "Victory" sign. Raised Fist. Raised Hand.

Emoji History The emoji code/ image log of changes.
This emoji was part of the proprietary / non-standardized emoji set first introduced by Japanese carriers like Softbank. These emojis became part of the Apple iPhone starting in iOS 2.2 as an unlockable feature on handsets sold in English speaking countries.
In iOS 5 / OSX 10.7, the underlying code that the Apple OS generates for this emoji was changed.
The code generated for this emoji was changed slightly in iOS 7 / OSX 10.9 (a variation selector was added) advising the OS to display character emoji style instead of black and white text when available. We don't mind Apple, thank you! We just love our emojis! [Sources 11438-emoji-var.pdf 13.7 Variation Selectors (unicode.org)]
