Italy: Hand gesture gets its own emoji

Rome: Italy’s so-called “pinched fingers” hand gesture finally has its own emoji, one of the many new symbols release in recent days.

Emojipedia describes the new Italian emoji as: “An emoji showing all fingers and thumb held together in a vertical orientation, sometimes referred to as the Italian hand gesture ‘ma che vuoi’”.

The Italian emoji is one of 117 new emojis, including bottle-feeding parents, gender-neutral characters and the transgender flag, along with a host of new animals and food emojis.
