Right Third of a White Right-Pointing Index

🯃 is the right-hand third of a three-cell white pointing-hand graphic from Amstrad CPC computers, retained in Unicode for compatibility with older text. Use it when reconstructing that legacy graphic; by itself it is only one segment, and whether it appears as a drawing depends on the font.

Text symbol

What 🯃 means

It is the rightmost third of a legacy computer pointer.

The Amstrad CPC F6 character-set entry drew the rightmost third of a white pointing-hand graphic. Its F4 and F5 entries drew the left and middle thirds. The CPC was a home-computer series; Unicode keeps the three characters separate so older computer text can be converted, emulated, or rebuilt as text-mode graphics without losing the drawing.

Why does 🯃 look like part of a hand?

Because this character draws only one of the graphic’s three cells.

On its own, 🯃 shows only the rightmost segment; the original drawing needs its left and middle cells as well. The order matters: left, middle, then right. A complete pointer is clearer when you mean a hand gesture.

Niche and technical; it points to retro-computing, character-set, or text-mode graphics work.

For a clear gesture, use a complete pointing hand; 🯃 is only one segment.

Questions people ask

Why does 🯃 show as a box?

If the app shows a box, its font or fallback font is not drawing this character. A font with Symbols for Legacy Computing coverage can display it; the character itself stays the same.

Is 🯃 an emoji?

No. It is a text character retained to represent part of an old computer graphic, not an emoji used as a standalone hand gesture.
