What is 🙏️ called?

🙏️ is called the Folded hands emoji.

Commonly called prayer hands, thank-you hands, or the namaste gesture. “High-five emoji” is a frequent misidentification; the standard image shows folded hands from one person.

What does 🙏️ mean?

🙏 presses two hands together and can mean prayer, please, thank you, hope, respect, apology, greeting, or sincere gratitude. Religious and secular uses both occur widely.

It is also associated with namaste, particularly in contexts where joined palms accompany that greeting. Despite a common nickname, the artwork depicts one person’s folded hands rather than two people high-fiving.

Other meanings

Praying, gratitude, asking kindly, pleading, blessing, hope, apology, respect, namaste, or earnest support.

Example Usage

Thank you for covering my shift 🙏
