If you’ve ever been the recipient of an unsolicited dick pic (and let’s face it, who hasn’t?), one particular emoji released in a new batch of emojis will have you jumping for joy.

Say hello to: the pinching hand emoji.

The pinching hand is among more than 50 new creations announced this week, and social media is having a field day following the reveal.

One Twitter user wrote: “The unsolicited d**k pic community is in a panic right now”.

Alongside the pinching hand emoji, there are also new symbols for the deaf and disabled as well as more gender neutral and skin tone variations.

However, most of the attention is focused on the hand gesture.
