In a talking stage, it's often a soft 'bye for now' after a good chat, like 'talk soon ✌️.' It's not usually overtly flirty, but it's a gentle sign-off that implies positive vibes, leaving the door open for more. If it's after a date, it could be a subtle 'I had a good time, peace out.'
With Friends

What does ✌️ mean for different people?
👨👩👧 For Parents
When your teen uses this, they usually mean 'peace out,' 'bye,' or 'I'm good/I survived.' It's a very common, casual way to end a conversation or acknowledge a situation, often with a touch of irony. It's rarely anything to worry about.
Real assessment: there's basically no concern here. It's a low-risk, ubiquitous emoji. The only 'red flag' would be if it's consistently paired with genuinely distressing text, in which case the text itself is the concern, not the emoji.
