Person Bowing Deeply

Man Bowing

Woman Bowing

A person getting his or her&nbsp;face massaged.

Apple&rsquo;s artwork&nbsp;for this character shows more of a head massage. Google and Microsoft display a more accurate face massage, with hands rubbing the cheeks&nbsp;and face.

Face Massage

Two hands placed firmly together, meaning please&nbsp;or&nbsp;thank you&nbsp;in Japanese culture.&nbsp;A common alternative use&nbsp;for this emoji is for prayer, using the same gesture as&nbsp;praying hands. It can also represent&nbsp;a respectful greeting or show of adoration many in Southeast Asian religions and cultures, such as the Hindu namaste or Buddhist a&ntilde;jali mudra.

Rarely used as&nbsp;a&nbsp;high-five, despite often being suggested as one by emoji keyboard search features. <a href="https://blog.emojipedia.org/emojiology-folded-hands/">More about this emoji and its possible meanings</a>.

A previous&nbsp;version of this&nbsp;emoji&nbsp;displayed a <a href="/apple/ios-6.0/folded-hands/" title="🙏 Person With Folded Hands on Apple iOS 6.0">yellow burst of light behind the two hands</a>&nbsp;on iOS. Android once&nbsp;showed a blob-character with <a href="/google/android-5.0/folded-hands/" title="🙏 Person With Folded Hands on Google Android 5.0">closed eyes and folded hands</a>.

Person with Folded Hands

A baby with a halo and wings. Can represent a sweet baby, a biblical cherub, a mythological cupid, a decorative putto, or an angel as a supernatural being in general. This emoji can&nbsp;be used earnestly or&nbsp;in a tongue-in-cheek way to talk about goodness or innocence.

It is often used to express affection for people, especially children at birth or, more sadly, after death. This emoji pops up in <a href="https://blog.emojipedia.org/emojiology-baby-angel/">a large variety&nbsp;of contexts</a> ranging from innocence, love, Valentine&#39;s Day, positive feelings like gratitude, and the Christian faith, especially during Christmas.

Ornamental Japanese Emperor and Empress dolls, as displayed in celebration of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinamatsuri">Hinamatsuri</a> on March 3 in Japan (Girls&rsquo; or Dolls&rsquo; Day).

<a href="http://mandel59.hateblo.jp/entry/2016/03/04/041437">Generally depicted</a> as a Japanese Emperor (left, in blue, holding a scepter) and Empress (right, in red, holding a fan) in ceremonial court dress and seated on a tatami.

When not applied to Hinamatsuri, sometimes used to represent Japan, dolls, a pair of people (as a couple or two friends), and for various idiosyncratic purposes.

Japanese Dolls

Two hands performing a handshake gesture, indicating a&nbsp;cordial greeting between friends or associates.

As of late 2021&#39;s <a href="/emoji-14.0/">Emoji 14.0</a> recommendations, this emoji design has multiple <a href="/emoji-modifier-sequence/">skin tone modifier</a> options. Certain platforms did, however, support a small number of single skin tone options for the handshake emoji prior to 2021 (e.g. both <a href="/google/android-7.1/new/">Google</a>&nbsp;and <a href="/samsung/touchwiz-7.1/new/">Samsung</a> in 2017).&nbsp;<a href="/handshakes/">View all handshake emojis</a>.

Handshake

Shown as a right hand on all supported platforms. An equivalent left-handed version does not exist.

Fisted Hand Sign

A yellow face with furrowed eyebrows, a small frown, and large, &ldquo;puppy dog&rdquo; eyes, as if begging, pleading, or yearning (possibly even in a&nbsp;<a href="/nsfw">NSFW</a> manner, depending on the context). May also represent adoration or feeling touched&nbsp;by a loving gesture.

Huawei&#39;s design for this emoji includes a pair of&nbsp;<a href="/folded-hands">🙏 Folded Hands</a>.

At its peak the Pleading Face was&nbsp;<a href="https://blog.emojipedia.org/a-new-king-pleading-face/">the&nbsp;third most popular emoji used on Twitter</a>, and was the most commonly found emoji <a href="https://blog.emojipedia.org/what-every-heart-emoji-really-means/">in tweets that include hearts</a>. Used in sequence with pointing hands to indicate a bashful or shy pose (🥺👉👈)&nbsp;<a href="/tiktok/">particularly on TikTok</a>.

Face with Pleading Eyes

A yellow face with smiling eyes, closed smile, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_(religious_iconography)">halo</a>, usually blue, overhead. Often represents angels, <a href="/folded-hands/">prayers</a>, and blessings. May also convey angelic behavior, e.g., doing good deeds. See also <a href="/baby-angel/">👼&nbsp;Baby Angel</a>.

Several platforms, including Apple, feature&nbsp;an&nbsp;expression similar to their <a href="/smiling-face-with-smiling-eyes/">😊&nbsp;Smiling Face With Smiling Eyes.</a>

Smiling Face with Halo

A yellow face with its right hand saluting. Used as a sign of respect.

The expression of the face of this emoji can vary across platforms, with some designs featuring a <a href="/neutral-face">neutral</a> face while others are shown smiling to various degrees.&nbsp;

Apple and Huewai&#39;s designs notably only display half a face, likely to make the saluting hand more prominent when this emoji is viewed in smaller sizes.

<div id="professor_prebid-root">This emoji went viral across Twitter in late 2022 following the&nbsp;news that the platform would be dramatically reducing its staff numbers as part of a company-wide restructuring following its acquisition by Elon Musk. <a href="https://blog.emojipedia.org/10-years-of-viral-emoji-moments/">Learn more here.</a></div>
