When did ✌️ come out?

The ✌️ character is older than emoji itself: U+270C has been part of Unicode since version 1.1 (1993) as a plain black-and-white symbol. It only became a colorful emoji when emojis were standardized in Unicode 6.0 in 2010. Since 2015 it also comes in five skin tones: press and hold it on the iPhone keyboard to choose one. In Japan and much of East Asia, the V sign is the classic pose in photos, which helps explain why ✌️ is so common in selfie captions.

Is ✌️ easy to misread?

In the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, the V sign with the palm facing inward is an insult. In chats the emoji is read as the friendly peace sign, but be careful copying the gesture in real life.

How ✌️ looks on different devices

✌️ is a standard Unicode emoji with skin tones (✌🏻 ✌🏽 ✌🏿). On iPhone it appears in Apple's style; on very old systems it may show as a plain black-and-white symbol.
