The left-facing counterpart to the rightward hand, designed to pair with it (or with other directional hands) to create custom two-person gestures like handshakes or fist bumps with independently chosen skin tones. Introduced in the same 2022 Unicode 15.0 batch specifically to solve the 'mixed skin tone interaction' limitation of earlier combined gestures.
