🤞 Crossed Fingers Emoji — Meaning & Usage
Smileys & People📋 Copied 31.6K times
Description
Index and middle fingers twisted together — hoping for the best. One of those gestures where the emoji perfectly captures a real-life habit people already do. Added in Unicode 9.0 (2016). Also carries the old schoolyard meaning of "I'm lying" (fingers crossed behind the back), though that interpretation rarely comes up in digital use.
When to Use
Wishing for luck, hoping for good outcomes, or sending supportive energy.
Example Usage
- “Interview's in an hour 🤞”
- “Submitted the application, now we wait 🤞”
- “Hoping the traffic isn't terrible 🤞”
