Rightwards Hand

The rightwards hand icon represents a hand pointing to the right, commonly used to indicate direction or navigation. It originated from Unicode and is widely used in digital communication. The icon is part of the Twemoji library.

The rightwards hand icon appears in various software and platforms, including websites, apps, and digital interfaces. For instance, it can be used as a navigation element, directing users to a specific section or feature.

From a UX perspective, the icon communicates a clear and concise direction, guiding users through digital interfaces and helping them understand the layout and functionality of a platform.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds RightwardsHandIcon to components/icons/twemoji-rightwards-hand.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed RightwardsHandIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Rightwards Hand icon, or any of 4,169 Twitter Emoji icons, and install it from a prompt.
