You cross-posted with me, so I didn't know you'd found Wingdings. There is some variation in the "Wingdings" in various Windows versions, but if you use the CharMap and select a character in the top couple of rows, the char gets enlarged so you can see what it is. Especially in Wingdings, it's hard to see what the glyphs are without some enlargement. You can use the arrow keys to move across the row once you've clicked, and each glyph will get enlarged as it's selected. The right and left-pointing fingers in my (WinXP) Wingdings are at hex unicode values 0x45 and 0x46, if that's helpful in for location.

In recent Word versions, you can type "45" (no quotes) and immediately do an Alt-x. The "45" character will be converted to the Unicode character for that number. In common fonts it will look like a squared of upper case "E."

Shift-Left Arrow to select the character that changes, and change it to a Wingding font, enlarge to about 16 point to get it large enough to tell that it's a "finger." This works in my Word, and should work in most recent versions.

Use 46 instead of 45 for giving a finger in the other direction.
