How it looks on your device
The glyph above is rendered by your own operating system or browser, so it may look slightly different on Windows, Android or iOS - that's normal, each platform ships its own emoji artwork for the same underlying character.
What it means
Officially "folded hands": prayer, please, thank you, or hope. In the West it is overwhelmingly read as "thank you" or "please", and very often as a high five - which it is not, though that reading has become so common it hardly matters anymore.
How people use it
- Thanking someone sincerely
- Asking for a favour ("could you send it tonight 🙏")
- Hoping, wishing, or sending good thoughts
- Religious prayer and blessings
Examples
- thank you so much for today 🙏
- please let the train be on time 🙏
- sending strength 🙏
Good to know
Not a high five in any official sense - the hands belong to one person. Supports skin tone modifiers.
