Emoji Meaning
1
A classic yellow hand with its fingers held close together and raised — a clear gesture that can mean “stop” or simply indicate someone raising their hand to get attention.
2
The raised palm emoji depicts the front of an upraised hand facing the viewer. The first instinct is to interpret it as "stop", and a close second is a request for a high five.
If you compare it to other icons, its closest relatives are the open palm and the raised hand. The meaning is particularly similar to the latter, but note that raised right and left hands can carry different nuances: the right hand is more often used for greeting or attracting attention, while the left tends to signal a high five or to mean "stop".
