Dislike, downvote and the smiley

No emoji is named dislike or downvote, so the dislike emoji and the downvote emoji are both this thumb. Wiktionary defines a downvote as a vote against something that lowers its tally. For a smiley face thumbs down there is no single emoji either: Face with thumbs down puts Slightly frowning face beside the hand. For a two thumbs down emoji, take the combo of that name.

Thumbs down in Rome

Pollice verso, Latin for with a turned thumb, was the Roman crowd’s verdict on a beaten gladiator. Wikipedia records that which way the thumb turned is uncertain: up, down, sideways or hidden in the hand.

  • CLDR files this thumb under good as well as bad.
  • Reversed thumbs down sign, U+1F593, is a plain text character from Unicode 7.0, not an emoji, and an empty box where no font has it.

Questions and answers

Is there a thumbs to the side emoji?

Two, both new in Emoji 18.0: Leftwards thumb sign, U+1FAF9, and Rightwards thumb sign, U+1FAFA. Each is an empty box until the device maker adds the drawing. CLDR files both under neutral, this and that.

Is there a black thumbs down emoji?

The darkest of the five skin tones: Thumbs down: dark skin tone, U+1F44E U+1F3FF. Unicode has no blue thumbs down. UTS #51, its emoji standard, asks for a generic, non-realistic tone on the untoned hand, and its example is smiley yellow.

Is there a thumbs up and down emoji?

Not as one emoji. Thumbs up is U+1F44D and Thumbs down is the next code point. The combo Thumbs up and down copies both, and Up or down puts a question mark between them.

How do I type a text thumbs down?

Type -1, which CLDR lists as a search word for the emoji, or put a p after a typed face: (>_<)p. The p is the b of a typed thumbs up, turned over.
