Currently, it is very common to replace words or phrases with an emoji that expresses exactly what you want to say. WhatsApp has made its catalog of emoticons available to everyone where it is clear what is meant, such as happiness, sadness, dream, etc. However, there are many people who do not know what they really want to express. Find out in the following paragraphs.

One of the many WhatsApp emojis that we use in our chats is that of the hands together. This icon, which is available on both Android and iOS, is depicted with two yellow hands firmly placed together.

Surely many have used the emoji of the hands together to express that they are praying or praying for a specific reason, and even others say “high five” when they see it on WhatsApp, but in reality it also has another meaning that perhaps you had not imagined.

According to Emojipedia, the true meaning of the clasped hands emoji is not related to prayer or praying for someone, but is actually a sign to say “thank you” or “please.” In the case of Japanese culture, these hands are used to apologize.

The popular WhatsApp emoji was approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010 and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015. It is important to note that despite having the same encoding, each platform can vary the design of each emoji to suit their operating system or Interface.
