The differences in appearance across platforms have prompted discussion among users as to whether or not they’re praying or high-fiving. On their own, the two hands can look like they’re high-fiving. On some devices, this emoji shows up only as two hands touching, whereas on others, it shows up with a person attached to those hands.
Whatever it is, the folded hands emoji looks a lot like the hands of someone who’s pleading for something. Another place it might appear is when someone is asking or begging for something as a visual “please.” They might use this emoji when they’re hoping their favorite band comes to their city. Someone might say, “You guys are the best friends I’ve ever had.” Then they’d include the folded hands emoji to show just how thankful they are to have those people in their life. This emoji is also useful when a person wants to express gratitude. Hey, – 🙏 for this!

In Japanese culture (and some other Asian cultures), the gesture of pressing your hands together represents please, thank you, and I’m sorry, in addition to having spiritual associations. Like some other emoji, it adds to the conversation by virtue of representing something physical. Uses of the folded hands emoji include any situation where a person might gesture with their hands together in real life.
