What ๐ซบ means
A fist with the thumb aimed to the right, the mirror of ๐ซน. It points at "that" in a casual, offhand way.
Use it to point at the next item or a nearby name. A sideways thumb can also read as "meh," a middle rating, or as hitchhiking. Common use is still forming.
Phones and apps without support for the newest emoji show it as a box.
