🤞 Crossed Fingers Emoji Meaning: Good Luck and Hope

· By

🤞 Crossed Fingers is the emoji of hope and good luck. Just like crossing your fingers in real life, it means "I hope it works out!".

What does 🤞 mean?

The 🤞 emoji shows a hand with the middle finger crossed over the index finger. Its official name is Crossed Fingers (U+1F91E), sometimes called "hand with index and middle fingers crossed".

It means wishing for luck or hoping for a good outcome: exams, interviews, results, matches or any big moment. In some places, crossed fingers behind your back can also mean a little lie.

When to use 🤞

  • Before exams or interviews.
  • Waiting for results.
  • Wishing a friend luck.
  • Hoping for good weather or plans to work out.
  • Sports matches and competitions.
