Folded Hands Emoji
What does the Folded Hands emoji mean?
A couple of hands pressed together in a prayer-like gesture. Largely used to say “please” or “thank you,” and sometimes to signal a high-five.
Two hands pressed together, palms touching, with the fingers pointing upwards. They're shown in the classic emoji yellow.
This simple gesture can carry several meanings. Most often it's used instead of words — thank you or please. It can also express pleading or a prayerful request, and in some contexts it even means a "high five!".
