clapping hands
Palms striking repeatedly
Clapping hands is the gesture of striking one's palms together repeatedly, typically to express approval, appreciation, or enthusiasm: The audience gave a standing ovation, clapping hands for five minutes.
The phrase often appears as an emoji (👏) used for emphasis or congratulation in digital communication, sometimes inserted between words for rhythmic effect: Say 👏 it 👏 louder.
