What does โœŠ๐Ÿฝ Raised Fist: Medium Skin Tone mean?

โœŠ๐Ÿฝ is the Raised Fist emoji (โœŠ) with a medium skin tone (๐Ÿฝ, Fitzpatrick type 4) modifier. It means the same as the default yellow version; the skin tone simply lets people represent themselves or the person they are talking about.

Clenched and held high, this fist is a long-standing symbol of solidarity, resistance and strength. It appears around protests, civil rights and social movements, and many people choose a skin tone deliberately when sharing it in support of racial justice. In everyday chats it also means determination โ€“ โ€œstay strongโ€, โ€œweโ€™ve got thisโ€. It differs from ๐Ÿ‘Š, which punches or bumps toward the viewer.

โœŠ๐Ÿฝ Raised Fist: Medium Skin Tone is an emoji from the People & Body category (hand gestures: closed fingers), added in Emoji 1.0 in 2015. People use it in messages about clenched, hand, punch and solidarity.
