What the palms up together 🤲 emoji means
🤲 is palms up together: two hands cupped side by side, palms open toward the viewer. It means prayer in the Islamic dua posture, receiving, asking, offering — “please 🤲”, “grateful 🤲”, Ramadan and Eid posts, and charity appeals. It is calmer than 🙏 folded hands, which is the Christian and Buddhist prayer gesture (and the thank-you), and more spiritual than 👐 open hands, which is a hug or “jazz hands”. Added in Emoji 11.0 (2018) with all five skin tones.
