It is a writing hand:

They are. It is supposed to communicate review status.
There's two ways to do that: Mark reviewed and mark
unreviewed. Marking reviewed takes a *lot* of space - one
mark per visible result. Marking unreviewed makes only those
stand out which are NOT reviewed yet but should be. So it
has a reminder function.

For reviewed one could use a checkmark character. For
unreviewed one could use a crossed out checkmark. I haven't
found a single unicode codepoint with a crossed out
checkmark. So I figured to show a writing (signing) hand for
those results that need signing. Other candidates would be:
