What is 🤝️ called?
🤝️ is called the Handshake emoji.
Often called the shaking-hands emoji, deal emoji, or agreement gesture. Searches for a black-and-white handshake refer to mixed-skin-tone sequences of the same core handshake.
What does 🤝️ mean?
🤝 represents a handshake and means agreement, cooperation, partnership, greeting, respect, reconciliation, or a completed deal. It is common in business, teamwork, sport, and community messages.
The base handshake entered Emoji 3.0. Emoji 14.0 later added single- and mixed-skin-tone handshake sequences, so people can represent two participants with different tones rather than only one default colour.
Other meanings
Deal, contract, collaboration, mutual trust, welcome, compromise, peace, introduction, teamwork, or two parties reaching agreement.
Example Usage
We agreed on the final terms 🤝
Welcome to the partnership—we look forward to working together 🤝
