folded hands
Gesture of reverence
Folded hands describes hands pressed together with fingers pointing upward, typically in prayer or supplication.
The gesture conveys reverence, pleading, or gratitude.
The emoji 🙏 depicts folded hands and is widely used online to express thanks, hope, or a request: Folded hands for everyone who helped.
Some interpret the emoji as a high-five, though the prayer gesture was intended.
