Index Pointing At The Viewer

A hand with the index finger extended directly outward, appearing to point straight at the person reading the message.

The 🫵 Index Pointing at the Viewer emoji is a direct and attention-grabbing gesture used to call someone out, assign responsibility, or signal focus. It mimics the feeling of being pointed at in real life—whether playful or serious.

Gen Z often uses it in memes or reaction formats to say “you,” “this is about you,” or “yes, you.” It’s common in humorous posts or to highlight shared experiences. Older users may see it as a more literal or assertive gesture.
