What 🙆♀️ means from a girl or a guy
Same emoji, different intent depending on who sent it and what came before.
09 — Around the world
What 🙆♀️ means in other countries
Same origin as the plain figure — Japan’s circular-arm “maru” for correct — though less recognized outside Asia.
Read as an unambiguous “yes” or “correct”, the counterpart to the crossed-arm no gesture.
More often read as generic enthusiasm or “great” than the precise original meaning.
Genuinely useful to mark a correct answer if your audience knows the convention.
Before you send it: Great shorthand for “correct” with an audience that knows it; otherwise clarify with words.
