  It’s not the call me hand, it’s the hang loose emoji!

    It is in fact, the call me hand from iOS

    In Unicode 9, it’s label is ‘call me hand’

    I get that it is the exact same symbol as other things. However, officially as an emoji it is recognized as ‘call me hand’.

    My guess is to why is to not recognize any particular nation. Because the hand gesture isn’t just Shaka, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_number_gestures?wpr… see number six.

    Or see ASL, the letter Y.
