Fisted Hand Sign 👊
👊 (U+1F44A) is a standard Unicode character that you can copy and paste anywhere text is accepted. This page provides a concise reference with safe tips, internal links, and practical guidance so you can use it reliably across apps and platforms.
What it is and where it’s used: Fisted Hand Sign is part of the Symbols family (block: Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.
History & usage: The FISTED HAND SIGN depicts a raised fist gesture. It signals ideas or emotions in messaging and interfaces, and its meaning depends on the surrounding context. In chat or social apps, it can show support, solidarity, or emphasis for a point. It can also mark resolve or determination when discussing challenges or actions. The symbol should be used thoughtfully in UI and text to keep intent clear and avoid ambiguity in formal content. Appearance can vary across platforms, apps, and fonts, so color, style, and detail may differ. If a platform lacks color emoji support, a monochrome or text-style fallback may be shown, and surrounding text should clearly convey the intended meaning to support accessibility.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F44A in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.

Compatibility & troubleshooting

Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
