Hand closed in the shape of a shell is already widely used in memes on social media

The Unicode Consortium, a group that standardizes letters, numbers, symbols and emojis for operating systems, announced that it will add new figures to the universe of virtual faces in 2020.

Among the 62 new stickers that will be added in the update is the famous gesture, typically used by Italians, which is the hand closed in the shape of a cup and joining the fingers pointing upwards.

The gesture is normally used to express incomprehension or indigination in some situation. It is also widely used in memes on social media.
