Before you send it: Fine for “good luck” in most chats; avoid it with Vietnamese contacts, even as a throwaway gesture.

Where the 🤞 Crossed Fingers emoji came from
It arrived with the 3.0 release of the standard, which dates the crossed fingers to 2016.
Same character every time — U+1F91E never changed. Only the drawing did, and only because each vendor redraws its own set. Someone on an older phone still sees the older picture.
Crossed Fingers was approved as U+1F91E and shipped in Emoji 3.0 (2016). Phones usually get new artwork about a year after approval, in a system update.
Every vendor keeps its own artwork, so 🤞 is redrawn by Apple, Google, Twitter / X, Facebook, OpenMoji, Samsung, Microsoft, WhatsApp, JoyPixels. The character you send never changes — only the picture does.
