Leonard Nimoy created this gesture for Star Trek in 1967, basing it on a Jewish priestly blessing (Birkat Kohanim) he saw as a child. The accompanying phrase "Live long and prosper" became iconic. The emoji was added to Unicode in 2014 following a campaign by fans and Nimoy himself.

While the gesture originated from Jewish religious practice, the emoji is primarily associated with Star Trek. Using it in Jewish contexts could be seen as either respectful acknowledgment of its origins or potentially trivializing. Most people use it purely as a Star Trek reference or general friendly greeting.
