Crossed Fingers

A hand with the index and middle fingers crossed, often used as a hopeful gesture or sign of good luck.

The 🤞 Crossed Fingers emoji traditionally represents hope, good luck, or a wish for success. It’s often used before exams, competitions, or uncertain situations to say “fingers crossed.”

Older generations tend to use it literally, as a hopeful or supportive sign. Younger users may use it more casually or even sarcastically—sometimes as a way of expressing low expectations with a touch of humor (“maybe it'll work 🤞 but I doubt it”).
