What ✌️ means

Two fingers raised in a V. ✌️ means peace, victory, or a laid-back goodbye.

"Peace out ✌️" ends a chat with an easy tone. It is a go-to photo pose and a sign of calm, chill energy. After a win it means victory.

With the palm turned inward, the V is an insult in the UK, Ireland and Australia. The emoji shows the palm out, which reads as peace.
