๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿป is the Thumbs Down emoji (๐Ÿ‘Ž) with a light skin tone (๐Ÿป, Fitzpatrick type 1โ€“2) 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.

Thumb pointing to the ground, the opposite of ๐Ÿ‘. It means no, I disagree, not good, or a vote against, and people use it to reject an idea, rate something poorly or react to disappointing news. It hits harder than a plain โ€œnoโ€, so many soften it with a laughing or apologetic face. In polls and quick reactions it acts as a simple dislike button.

๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿป Thumbs Down: Light 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 -1, bad, dislike, good, hand and no.
