Hand Gesture Icons

A hand gesture is a nonverbal communication style in which visible hand movements convey a particular message, either in place of or concerning speech. Gestures enable us to communicate our anger or contempt alongside our speech. There can be some other feelings we may have towards another person but we can't possibly put in words, the hand gestures, then, are often an inseparable part of our communication style. Though the mental process of gesticulation is separate from verbal communication, still, when used together, which is often the case, it provides meaning and depth to a conversation. Many theorists believe that the language we use is a distant descendant of the gestures we used to make when we used to live in caves. The theory was philophisized by a priest named Abbe de Condillac and was cited many times in discussions about the origin of language.

Whatever sometimes it is just fun to run with your arms flailing about as if you don't care and then post the emoji to your friends. The message conveyed with a happy emoji 😃 can never be replaced with a sentence, isn't it?

We don't need a translator to tell us what a finger over the lips represents, do we? But it must be accurately depicted on a signboard or the emoji symbols will lose their meaning. That's exactly why Iconscout created a huge list of hand gesture icons so you can shush people around you! 😉
