The 👆 emoji shows a hand pointing upward. It usually refers to something above it, such as a previous message, caption, comment, menu item, or link.
People use 👆 as shorthand for "see above" or "this." In comment threads it can signal agreement with the person above, sometimes replacing a full reply because apparently one finger can handle the paperwork.
