What does 🙏 mean?
🙏 is one of the most multi-meaning emojis. In India and much of Asia it is namaste or a respectful greeting; in religious contexts it is prayer; in everyday chat it means “thank you”, “please”, “I hope so” or “bless you”. Many Western users also read it as a high five, which Unicode’s name (folded hands) does not support, but the usage stuck.
It is in the global top ten and supports skin tones. 🙏🏽 and 🙏🏾 are the most used modified forms.
“Thank you so much for your help 🙏”“Please let the train be on time 🙏🙏”
