The Dingbat Pointing Hand
The character ☞ (U+261E, white right pointing index) comes from the Unicode Dingbats block, originally used in desktop publishing for decorative pointers and arrows. Kaomoji artists adopted it as a pointing hand because it is a text character that aligns perfectly with text, unlike pointing emoji which are image-based.
