This emoji serves as a visual pointer, directing the reader's eye to content located on the right side. It can also mean "to the right," "next," or "later."
👉 How to Use
You can use this emoji to guide someone's attention to something on the right, or to refer to something that will come next.

👉 Cultural Background
Like other pointing hand emojis, the meaning of pointing right is generally consistent across cultures. It's a universal gesture for indicating direction.
However, as with all single-finger pointing gestures, in some cultures, it might be considered impolite or aggressive in real-life interactions. In digital communication, this is less of a concern, as it's understood as a functional pointer.
